Show respect for the grounded considerations that have gone into the guidelines that follow. They are based on responses of prior students and teachers in SIZ. These impacted on the arrangement and use of the three unique spaces, and have generated the guidelines you find here.

Zone Rules and Security

Collegial Behavior in the Zone

  • Do not move furniture in SIZ spaces. Only small stools are movable, and not to be stacked.
  • Upon entry, remove shoes outside D101, D102, D103. These are the only teaching and learning spaces on campus currently designed for the floor to be used for sitting and working.
  • Outdoor courtyard tables and chairs are extensions of the three Innovation Zone classrooms (though they are also public areas):
  • Drinking water permitted; eating or drinking other beverages in Courtyard only;
  • When you remain after class to continue discussions with your teacher and other students, if there is a class immediately following yours, please move to the outdoor courtyard tables and chairs and enjoy that space;
  • Expect to wait in courtyard till your teacher arrives and opens your space. Teachers have been instructed to leave the rooms empty when they exit.
  • Rubbish cans are located outside the rooms. No rubbish enters or remains in the classrooms

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.
