Who is responsible for maintaining classrooms and facilities in an orderly state?

Custodians clean the rooms in the evening, but generally, those of us who teach are expected to leave the classroom in an orderly state, which will allow the next instructor to use it without having to clean the boards or readjust the desks and chairs.

You may notice our most recently remodeled classrooms automatically control lights depending on whether the room is occupied or not. But in most rooms please conserve energy and resources when possible (lights, paper, etc.).

Erase the board - leave space for other instruction (don’t put SAVE on board material that requires being saved over several days).

Keep the classroom in standard order (if you want to break into a circle, consider that the next instructor may not want such an arrangement).

At most off-campus sites the college is a guest of the host school and the continued use of the rooms depends upon the care we as students and teachers practice. Close windows, turn out lights, and shut the door when you leave.

What if the heaters are not working or there is other damage in the room?

Problems with heating, broken equipment, or damage to the room should be reported. See your division chair, coordinator, or call Facilities and Operations directly at extension 3260.
