Room Reservation Policies

So long as you clean up your mess, eating or drinking in the OEDK in all rooms, except the Computer Lab, Machine Shop, and Wet Lab, is allowed.
There is a refrigerator in the student lounge that you can use for food or beverages. Please mark your food items with your name and date. Anything that is not clearly marked will be considered a free-for-all.
Please remove any and all items brought into the room. This specifically refers to any large amounts of trash such as lunch boxes, food trays, drinks, etc.
If you have written anything on the window or a white board in the room and you do not want it erased, please write a note next to the markings stating "DO NOT ERASE UNTIL [Date]". If you do not do this, housekeeping will more than likely clean these areas.
