SIZ Faculty Guidelines

Zone Rules and Security

---

Collegial Behavior in the Zone

• No eating or drinking in the Zone!
• Upon entry, please remove shoes outside
• Rubbish cans are located outside the rooms so that no trash enters or remains in the classroom

Based on experiences by faculty who beta-tested The Zone in past semesters:

• These rooms change the dynamics of students and faculty and as a result, students may stay after class to talk to you and to others. This caused problems for the next faculty entering to prepare to start their class. Be thoughtful of one another, exit by halfway through the gap time by moving conversations to the courtyard.
• Cleaning writing surfaces well for the next person is your kuleana, so please remove the residue left by you and your students’ writing. Faculty and students ahead of you will be doing the same on your behalf. Students can and do assist in the cleaning of the writing surfaces in The Zone.

Windows

• If any window is cracked open, the air conditioning shuts off. AC will not turn back on until all windows are closed.
• Make sure all windows are secured before leaving class, even if you didn’t open them.

Doors

• At end of class, verify all students are out of room before securing door.
• Do not let students for next class enter. Their own instructor will do so.

Key Cards

• Do not share keycards with anyone.
• System tracks entry dates and times of each key card.

Lights

Proximity sensor turns on lights upon entry and shuts off 20 minutes after vacated.

Dry-erase Markers and Clean Up

• Clean up at end of class with spray cleaner and microfiber cloths provided.
• Wall writing requires end of class clean up with spray and micro cloths.
