Pre-Spring Break Health & Safety Inspections
Residence Life staff will stop by each residential room to perform our semesterly Health & Safety Inspections between Sunday, March 05 and Thursday, March 09, 2023. While residents do not need to be present, we do prefer at least one resident
be present to address any concerns found.
We will address health, safety, security, and maintenance issues during our check. This includes prohibited items, propped doors or disassembled closers, access to exits, general cleanliness, excess trash and odors, unattended appliances, fire and electrical
hazards, unsafe lofts or furniture, and evidence of unapproved animals.
