Maintenance

Room Furniture Reset

• Once a week, the furniture in the study rooms will be checked by Spaces student employees. Extra furniture should be removed.
• Use the Small Rooms Specs spreadsheet (found in the Library Maintenance Box folder) that lists all the study rooms and the number and type of chairs in the group study rooms.
• Furniture removed from the study rooms should be redistributed throughout the library. It is important that the furniture is not left right outside the rooms. Any furniture left outside the rooms is considered a fire hazard and may not comply with ADA rules of leaving a 36" walkway. 
• Any major damage to the rooms should also be noted at this time.

...

• Needed room repair will be reported two different ways: Room Furniture Reset and Follow-Up Forms
• Check Library Maintenance inbox for follow-up forms about reported damage
• Coordinate with the Library Spaces Manager.

Summer Unlock

During summer term, the study rooms on the 5^th floor are unlocked since there are fewer students using the study rooms. 

• Contact the kiosk coordinator to schedule slides letting patrons know the rooms are unlocked. The coordinator should have a slide on file.
• Leave the 5th floor rooms unavailable for reservation in LibCal when opening the rooms for the summer.
• Ask the Electronic Locks Coordinator to set SmarTime hours in SMS Express software and reprogram the locks.
• Place summer unlocked door hangers on door handles. These are kept in the Room Coordinator's files.
