Health Sciences Building Management is responsible for the management of all corridors, hallways, common areas, and stairwells in Health Sciences facilities. This includes coordination with service partners to assure occupant needs are met in these areas.
View our consolidated corridor, stairwell and hallway policy
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 building, Health Sciences Education Building, and South Campus Center. All such items are restricted to display on sign standards, easels, or designated bulletin boards.
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.
Instructional Support also offers sign stands for event advertising. Please contact them for sign stand rentals and information. Departments are not allowed to use their own sign stands around the building.
Corridors, hallways, and stairwells are designated for egress. 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.
