How to enter the Biology Learning Center

  • When someone is in the BLC, knock on the door and wait patiently. 
  • When the BLC is unoccupied, enter through the 1851 or 1854 labs ONLY when the instructor is not lecturing. Open and close the door quietly to avoid disturbing the lab. Walk along the side and back of the lab.

Health and Safety Rules

  • All safety rules covered in your lab class are enforced in the BLC at all times. This includes no food, no drink, no water, and no gum. You must have protective footwear (closed toed/ heeled shoes). 
  • Maximum occupancy: 12
  • Medical Screening: Do not use this area and remain at home if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or test positive. 
  • Physical Distancing Recommended: Ideally maintain a distance of four feet between yourself and others at all times. The greater the distance, the better. 
  • Personal Hygiene: Wash hands/use hand sanitizer before and after using the area. Cover coughs/sneezes. 
  • Protective equipment: Wear a face covering/mask which covers the nose and mouth at all times. 
  • Environmental cleaning: Clean and disinfect surfaces you will be frequently touching before and after using the area. 

Equipment Etiquette

  • Respect on-going experiments. Do not touch or move items as this may jeopardize hours of student work. 
  • Clean up thoroughly and properly after you are finished. Clean up includes: returning slides, models and/or specimens to their appropriate trays, containers, and bins; powering down, and/or correctly storing equipment including microscopes and other material. Last, clean off bench tops, and discard paper and towels in the appropriate waste containers. 
  • The lab technical staff have many responsibilities for supporting our lab classes, so respect them and their time. When you need special supplies, models, or equipment, please come to the Prep Room 1856 door entrance from room 1852 and wait patiently to ask their help. Allow staff to finish their other priorities. Students are not allowed inside the Prep Room 1856.

Use of the BLC is a privilege and may be revoked if rules and regulations are not followed. Pleas act professionally and responsibly, and be flexible and patient with staff and faculty who work to keep the BLC available to our students.
