Classrooms/Labs

When, in the judgment of the instructor, noise, air quality or any other environmental factor in or outside the classroom is disruptive to the educational process, that instructor is authorized to take appropriate action, including:
 

1. Scheduling a short break and reconvening when the disruption abates;
2. Relocating the class/lab for the duration of the disruption with the assistance of the department office or Curriculum and Scheduling;
3. Canceling the class/lab for the day; or
4. Rescheduling the class/lab according to student/instructor availability.
 

Offices

When, in the judgment of the department manager, noise, air quality or any other environmental factor in or outside the office is disruptive to the office environment that manager has the authority to take appropriate action, including:
 

1. Scheduling a short break until the disruption abates;
2. Relocating staff for the duration of the disruption with the assistance of Curriculum and Scheduling or Bond Project Management; or
3. Sending employees home.  This option should be considered only when relocation options have been explored and exhausted and when the environmental problem has been evaluated by the bond project manager or facilities manager or designee and determined to be potentially harmful to staff.
 

*If the disruption is due to Facilities Management and Planning activities, Bond Project Management will notify the facilities manager who will also participate in this problem-solving discussion.
