Hallways

All corridor, hallway and common area furniture must be approved by HS Building Management prior to installation.

Do not move corridor, hallway and common area furniture from its assigned location.

Furniture is never permitted in stairwells.

Signage: Temporary Event or Course

There is a strict no taping or tacking policy for the posting of items such as posters, flyers, temporary directional signs, advertisements and announcements throughout Magnuson Health Sciences, Foege, Health Sciences Education Building, and South Campus Center. All such items are restricted to display on sign standards, easels, elevators or designated bulletin boards.

Use bulletin boards, elevators or sign stands to locate promotional materials.

If you have an event that needs directional signage, contact HS Instructional Support (crshelp@uw.edu or 206-543-6729) for sign stands. You provide the signs, Instructional Support will deliver and pick up the sign stands.

Departments may use their own sign stands or sandwich boards in the following designated areas: HS Lobby, E-court, I-court and Skamania Lane between North & South Foege.

Corridors, hallways and stairwells are designated exit routes, therefore storage of surplus items is not permitted in these locations. Loose items create a major hazard for emergency evacuation and emergency responders in the event of a fire or earthquake.

When surplus items are identified, submit your surplus property request:

Surplus Request

Don’t wait until “later” or “when we have a bunch of stuff” to submit requests. HS Building Management staff conduct regular inspections of corridors and will contact your administrator if accumulations of items are seen. In addition, the Seattle Fire Department and Environmental Health & Safety conduct annual fire and safety inspections.
