Classroom and Student Area Policies
Acceptance of the Classroom and Student Study Area Policies is mandatory for reservation of classrooms.
Common Areas
Public access to the LBJ School of Public Affairs is limited to working hours between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. After-hours access is only available to LBJ School faculty, staff, and students with electronic Proximity ID Cards provided to them. The card readers are located on the external door (available when first floor construction is completed in January 2010), the interior stairwells, and inside the elevators.
Students are encouraged to use the Common Areas on all three floors of the LBJ School for individual study and group meetings. Classrooms are accessible and can be reserved by contacting the LBJ Dean’s Office. The Common Areas offer a mix of private rooms, semi-private group meeting areas (partitioned), areas for individual study, and food and coffee preparation areas. Food and drink are allowed in the Common Areas on a provisional basis. Please help keep these areas clean by bagging leftover food and putting it out in the hallway (trash bins and bags are located throughout the area).
Classroom Policies
Food in the classrooms is prohibited. Drinks in spill-proof mugs and plastic bottles with tops are allowed in classrooms. All other drink containers are prohibited. For special events or classes, food may be allowed, but faculty and students will be held responsible for the cleaning of the rooms (including the emptying/bagging of trash receptacles). For those who do not comply, future privileges will be suspended and those responsible may be assessed a cleaning fee for custodial services. Contact the Dean's Office at lbjdeansoffice@austin.utexas.edu for more details. Faculty members and students are to vacate the classrooms by 10:00 p.m. on Mondays for weekly scheduled cleaning.
Classrooms are available for reservation in one-hour blocks when not in use for classes. To reserve a room, individuals should contact the Dean's Office at lbjdeansoffice@austin.utexas.edu. Individuals reserving classrooms or other meeting spaces in the School assume responsibility for security and maintenance (doors are locked upon exiting, chairs and other furniture are placed in the original setting). Individuals reserving the room may not transfer the reservation to another individual without contacting the Dean's Office.
