Crops Building Space Utilization Guidelines

1. The Crop Science Building Committee is responsible for considering all space requests and making all recommendations to the Crops/Soils Management Team (the Department Head and Associate Department Heads).
   
   
2. Committee recommendations are governed by the following assumptions:
   
   
   1. All space assignments are temporary and subject to change.  Members of the Department may be asked to vacate space if such changes are in the best interest of the Department.
   2. The initial contact person for space requests is the Chair of the Crop Science Building Committee (the Crops Associate Department Head).  Committee recommendations are forwarded to the Department Head for final action.
   3. The Department Head has final authority over all space assignments.
   4. Space needs are considered on a priority basis with people having priority over equipment and storage Space needs are considered on a priority basis with people having priority over computers, growth chambers, other equipment and storage.  In so far as possible, all persons will be treated equally.  When space conflicts arise, faculty will have preference over staff, staff will have preference over students, and permanent faculty and staff will have preference over temporary faculty and staff.
   5. These guidelines will be amended as needed with input from all segments of the Department.
      
      
3. Items related to building maintenance such as leaky pipes, maladjusted doors, broken tiles, etc. should be brought to the attention of the Building Manager.
   
   
4. Building-related issues that are potential sources of conflict (e.g. space infringement, noise, odor, etc.) should be brought to the attention of the Crops Associate Department Head.
