Dear Colleagues, Below is the space management policy for Forney Hall, distributed first in August 2009. Please note that for the current Spring semester, since Dr. Caruthers is on leave, space for "Post Doctoral, Graduate Student, and Visiting Scholars Offices" will be assigned by Cristina Farmus, Administrative Director. Best, Arvind Varma Purdue University - School of Chemical Engineering Space Management Policy From: Arvind Varma, School Head To: ChE Faculty, Staff, and Students Effective Date: August 3, 2009 Purpose This document outlines the procedures to follow for space allocation and key issuing in Forney Hall. Scope Faculty and Staff Offices - The School Head assigns offices for all faculty (regular and visiting) and staff members. For faculty members, each case is considered on an individual basis. When a staff member is hired in an existing position, the same office as the last occupant is assigned by default. All requests should be addressed to the Head, and notification of approval is given via email. Laboratories - The School Head assigns all laboratory space in Forney Hall. All requests should be addressed to the Head, and notification of approval is given via email. Post Doctoral, Graduate Student, and Visiting Scholars Offices -The Forney Hall renovation coordinator (currently Dr. Caruthers) assigns offices for all graduate students, post doctoral associates and visiting scholars. All requests should be made by the faculty research advisor to Dr. Caruthers, and notification of approval is given via email. Keys The Building Deputy (currently Jeff Valley) is copied on all written approvals of space assignments; he/she will then issue a key to the occupant. When a key to a laboratory is needed but no space allocation is involved, the faculty research advisor requests the Building Deputy directly for a key to be issued to the individual. When a key is issued, the person receiving it will be asked to sign a form committing to return it at the end of the appointment. The employees leaving the School upon completion of their appointment will return all their keys to the Building Deputy during the check-out process, which is monitored by the Business Manager (currently Mary Anne Madrid) for faculty and staff and by the Graduate Program Coordinator (currently Deb Bowman) for graduate students.
