How do I reserve a classroom or a meeting room on campus?
E-Mail or verbally request your needs to Zudegi Giordano in Room 119A, zudegi@uoregon.edu at least one day ahead of time. Most scheduling of this kind cannot be made by students directly to EMU or classroom scheduling staff.

 

How do I reserve audio visual (AV) equipment for class presentations?
There are four options that do not cost anything more than pre-planning:

·         If you are presenting for a PPPM class, please visit, call or email Zudegi in the Dept. Office to reserve a laptop and projector (room 119, 346-3635).

·         If you are presenting for a CPW or other CSC project, see Linda White in Room 111 (346-3889) for laptops and projectors.

·         The School of Architecture & Allied Arts’ Faculty/Student Services desk, Room 124 Lawrence Hall, loans out AV equipment to all AAA students. Bring student I.D. Reservations are highly recommended (346-2099).

·         The Instructional Media Center, in the basement of the Knight Library, reserves and checks out audio visual equipment to all students on presentation of their I.D. card. Reservations are highly recommended. Their policies may be found online at http://libweb.uoregon.edu/med_svc/circ.html. Reservation booking requests and a list of equipment available are online at: http://libweb.uoregon.edu/med_svc/booking.html or call Media Services, 346-3091.

 

Where do I get group project supplies and dept. letterhead?
Group projects for CPW or CSC and with individual faculty members will get their supplies from their project manager or through the faculty, who will have the supplies ordered. Supplies that require planning ahead to get are department letterhead stationery and envelopes (typesetting job, takes two weeks) and other special printing jobs. Make sure you have planned two weeks to receive letterhead, envelopes, and special printings needed before large mailings (surveys) can go out. Any time there is doubt as to what to do or who to get instruction from, see Zudegi who can direct you to the right place or person.

 

How do I get reimbursement for expenses I paid on my group project?
Only pre-authorized, department expenses will be reimbursed. See Zudegi, PPPM staff or Linda White, CSC staff (CPW projects) before making any purchases

 

Where can I use a photocopier or fax machine?
The department’s photocopier and fax machine are for faculty, staff and project use only. Class assignments are a personal expense and must be done elsewhere. Coin-operated or vending card operated photocopiers are in the basement of the student union, Knight libraries, and 24-hour copy shops in walking distance of campus and on the bus line within 10 minutes. Sending and receiving personal faxes is generally not allowed at the department. However, if you want to fax a job or internship application, or need a copy of a job announcement, we will make a copy for you. For special circumstances, see PPPM staff. To send a personal fax, you may use the department’s fax machine if you have a personal long distance calling card. Zudegi can show you how to dial out using your card. Otherwise, please go to the student union’s ticket office. A fee is charged for this service. Fax receipt is not available through the ticket office, so again, talk to PPPM staff about being allowed to receive a personal fax at the department. (Internship evaluations are an instructor requirement and the department wants you to use our fax machine for this purpose.)

 

See Zudegi, PPPM.

 

Is Hendricks Hall open after 5:00 p.m. and on weekends?
Yes - with an issued building key. See Zudegi in the PPPM Office about getting one.

 

NO! All PPPM majors are given a mailbox only for department communications. All personal mail, magazine subscriptions, and packages must go to your residence or a post office box.

Are lockers available nearby?
Yes. In the south basement of Hendricks (near the computer lab) there are a few unmaintained lockers; if a locker is empty and unlocked, it is available. If lockers in the basement are all claimed, there are more lockers at the student union.

 

Is there coffee or a soda vending machine in the building?
There is a soda vending machine at the foot of the stairs to the basement. The department also has some minimal coffee service which is a user-supported service. The coffee is available at 50Ë in the collection cup per small mug. Large mug? Volunteer more money. This is not a donation but directly funds all the coffee supplies. The department coffee supply is not available for evenings or weekends or for student group meetings.

 

Follow traffic rules. Register your bike with Oregon Public Safety (on 15th across from the Rec Center), before you start parking it on campus--registration is free but required. Numerous bike racks are provided all over campus. Around Hendricks Hall there are bike racks on both sides of the building, and there are additional covered racks across the street. Please use the bike racks for parking rather than trees, signposts, benches, parking meters, sidewalk railings, and other assorted things that stick out of the ground. Bikes are not allowed inside Hendricks Hall at all at any time. No exceptions are made if you forget to bring your lock. Theft is very prevalent on campus, so always lock your bike! Please read thoroughly the following campus Internet site: http://safetyweb.uoregon.edu/bicycling/index.htm

 

Dog policies
With the exception of certified guide dogs for person(s) with special needs, dogs are not allowed in any A&AA buildings including Hendricks Hall.

 

 

Is there a microwave or refrigerator in the building?
In Hendricks Hall, there is a small kitchenette with sink and microwave in the basement area near the computer lab. There is a full size refrigerator and microwave in the north area of the basement (student lounge). Feel free to use these spaces as long as you clean up after yourself (including splatters in the microwave) and help keep the space clean. Further detail on the cleanup policy is posted at the kitchen sink. Please read both signs before using the kitchen. Do not leave your food to mold in the refrigerator.

 

Smokers:
All buildings on campus as well as all public establishments in the city of Eugene are smoke-free, including 50 feet outside of any entry door or window. There are cigarette receptacles for the main entrances to Hendricks Hall. Professional behavior does not include grinding out or leaving cigarettes on the ground. The building occupants on all floors keep our windows open most of the year, so smokers are asked to smoke quite a distance from the building. Even so, sometimes 50 feet just isn’t enough distance for someone sensitive to it.

 

Please be as sensitive to your surroundings here in Hendricks Hall as you would be in your parents’ or your own home. For example, it’s ok to lie down on the Hearth couches but don’t put your shoes on them, and do use the entry foyer mats to wipe mud from shoes and boots.
