Policy Statement
General Policies:
- All campus spaces are a valuable resource that belongs to the institution. The provost is the steward of all space and is responsible for ensuring that this space supports Dartmouth's academic mission.
- Use of all shared spaces (i.e., spaces not assigned to an individual or department) must be in accordance with the Classroom, Seminar & Conference Room Use Policy.
- All requests to use shared spaces must be made through the Office of Conferences and Events.
- Priority use of shared spaces is given to teaching, research, and programmatic activities sponsored by the departments currently housed in the building (Current Resident Departments).
- Secondary use of shared spaces is allowed for teaching, research, and programmatic activities sponsored by Non-Resident Departments. The Office of Conferences and Events will screen requests from Non-Resident Departments to ensure they do not interfere with the operations or programming of Current Resident Departments.
- Non-Dartmouth organizations, individuals, or businesses may be allowed to use shared spaces with approval from the Office of the Provost. Conferences and Events will screen such requests based on criteria from the Office of the Provost. There may be a license and/or facilities fee for non-Dartmouth use of space.
- Users are responsible for all event-specific costs, including set-up/break-down or maintenance charges involved in moving furniture, providing audio-visual equipment, restoring space to its original condition, etc.
- The building is unlocked from 6:45 am to 7:00 pm, Monday-Friday. Graduate and Post doc students have card access to enter the building and access the first floor and Guarini Commons after hours. Students, faculty, and staff working off hours may request card access to the building.
