Campus Refuse Disposal

The Facilities Management Department is solely responsible for the collection and disposal of campus refuse. The Department will make every effort to ensure that disposal and collection of refuse is timely and in full accordance with all state and federal regulations governing this function.

Due to the excessive costs associated with disposal, the Department will make every effort to diminish the trash stream through recycling procedures and conservation.

All costs associated with refuse removal will be annually provided for, annually, in the Facilities Management budgets.

Roof Access

It is the policy of Facilities Management that University building roofs are strictly off-limits for experiments or any other activity other than Facilities Management construction or maintenance. Only authorized personnel are permitted on the roofs. Authorization to access any roof must be obtained from the Director of Facilities Management.

Sign and Poster Placement

Temporary signs, banners, posters or other types of signs advertising University events are permitted with the following restrictions:

1. All student-related signs must be stamped for approval by Student Affairs and indicate "remove by" date. Material not stamped will be removed.
2. Signs may not be attached to the interior or exterior of any building except at designated locations.
3. Exterior signs will not be displayed on campus signage, traffic signals, trees, sign posts or lamp posts. Free standing signs may be placed around the grounds with the prior approval of the Center for Student Involvement of the Director of Facilities Management or his/her designee.
4. Interior signs will be confined to bulletin boards or similar areas identified for said purpose. Adhering signs and other displays to walls, doors, railings, windows, or similar interior structures causes damage and therefore, is prohibited.
5. All displays must be promptly and completely removed by the removal date or completion of the event.

Vehicles on Grounds and Paths

It is the policy of the Facilities Management Department that University and private vehicles are not permitted to be driven on the grounds or pathways without explicit permission from the Director of Facilities Management and/or the Director of the Department of Public Safety.

Uniforms and Equipment

The professionalism exuded by staff on campus may be strengthened not only by working smart, sensibly, and consistently, but also by the conspicuous presence of a uniformed, mobile work force. The University will provide all facilities personnel with uniforms and equipment necessary to project a professional presence on campus.

Emergency Closings

I. Purpose:

If hampering snow conditions, physical plant problems, or a national/state/local emergency develops, it may be necessary to close Bryant University.

In emergencies, employees are designated as:

1. Faculty
2. 12-month employees
3. Essential staff

a. Security staff

b. Grounds, maintenance, and utility-repair personnel

II. Procedure:

Essential staff employees, as defined, must report to work under all circumstances. There has been no attempt to equate the relative danger in travel conditions for students versus employees. It must be assumed that an employee, whose road/traffic situation prohibits his/her getting to the University, is within reason and right in determining not to endanger life and limb.
