Confidential Shredding

The confidential shredding container in Allen Hall is located on the 2nd floor, next to room 200. 

Cyclical Cleaning

Periodic cleaning such as carpet, blind, window, and upholstery cleaning will occur on a yearly or every 2-4 years. You will receive an email and given the option to decline this service.  Please be flexible so we can keep the building in top shape.

Display Policy

Posting items on your doors, windows, and walls with clear tape damages surfaces and leaves a residue. We will be providing each office with blue painters tape.  Please affix any items with blue tape only, and replace clear-taped items inside your office with blue tape as soon as you can.  Please see the display guidelines.  If you would like to post anything larger than 8.5” x 11” on your door or large amounts of material, please check in with the building manager.

Emergency Information

In case of emergency, please dial 911 FIRST. Then notify the building manager, your supervisor, and faculty services.

• We have a dozen CPR/AED trained individuals throughout the building. They will identify themselves when they arrive at an incident.  If you have a student that is in a wheelchair or cannot evacuate by themselves safely, please encourage them to contact the building manager so arrangements can be made.
• There is an AED (Defibrillator) at the top of the central stairs on the 2^nd floor in Allen Hall. The case has safety gloves and a resuscitation mask.

Evacuation Information

Fire alarm drills will occur without notice periodically every 2-3 years, as determined by Fire Safety.  We hope to schedule these in a way that causes minimal class disruption.  However, part of your first week of classes with students should cover the possibility of a real or simulated fire evacuation.  When a fire alarm goes off, the building MUST be evacuated, follow prescribed evacuation routes, and evacuees must stand at least 30 feet from the building after evacuating. The evacuation meeting point is the amphitheater outside the EMU.

Food/Drink Policy

There is no food allowed in any of the big classrooms, and no food or drink in any of the digital classrooms.

Furniture Guidelines

The building manager is your sole contact for furniture items in your office. Please check in if you want to add large personal items to your office so he/she is aware and can help. Please confer with the building manager when hanging items on the wall. In many cases you can choose to do it yourself, but for safety reasons it is good to check in.  In most cases the building manager will be happy to hang items for you.

Heating/Cooling

The heating/cooling systems rely on controlled airflow through the building, and usually shut off when a window is open nearby. Please remember to close your windows when you leave a room. The building is separated and controlled in zones, so if your room is hot or cold please contact the building manager, who will measure the temperature and open a work order if it is out of specification (70-74 degrees is the goal).  Zones and rooms have sensors that must not be obscured or shrouded to ensure proper function.  Be aware when placing furniture or wall hangings to ensure the sensors are not obscured.

Janitorial

Custodial staff clean the restrooms and public spaces in Allen Hall and Franklin daily. Offices and room trashcans are emptied weekly.  Vacuuming and dusting are done very intermittently.  We can have a student monitor help with cleanup if there is an issue or concern.  Please do not dispose of items that will create an odor in your office or enclosed room, as it may not be removed for up to a week.  Please dispose of perishables in a public area receptacle.

Pet Policy

OAR 351 states that “to protect public health and safety, the University does not permit animals in its buildings.”  Service animals must have a distinctive garment and the owner must be able to show a permit for the animal upon request.  In extenuating circumstances, the use of a therapy animal may be authorized as an effective accommodation on a case-by-case basis through consultation with and provision on appropriate supporting documentation through Disability Services. For further information please consult “U of O Service Animals on Campus Guidelines.”
