UF Levin College of Law Building Policies
Food and Drinks:
Food and drinks are not allowed in Levin College of Law classrooms, except that the following beverages are permitted:
- Water in clear plastic containers with tightly fitting caps;
- All other beverages if they are in containers with twist-off securely-lidded tops from which the user can drink the beverage without removing the lid (examples are travel coffee mugs and sports bottles). Examples of containers NOT permitted include soft drink cans and bottles and coffee cups with flip-off lids.
Further examples of permissible and non-permissible containers are available from the Legal Information Center and the Office of Student Affairs as well as at this link.
With the restricted availability of other facilities in the College of Law where food and drink may be consumed, food and drinks will be allowed in classrooms during school-sponsored events prior to October 1, 2004. Prior permission for food and drinks in classrooms must be obtained by students from the Office of Student Affairs, and by all others from the Dean’s Office. Beginning October 1, 2004, no food will be allowed in the classrooms at any time.
Groups Using Classrooms:
Groups that use law school facilities are responsible for cleaning up any clutter or trash left by the organization and re-organizing the facility if furniture has been moved. At the time a classroom or another law school facility is reserved, the group may be charged a deposit to insure that the room is cleaned up. Failure to clean up the space may result in the organization being charged for the cost of cleanup and/or the loss of the privilege of using College of Law facilities.
Signs, posters, banners, etc.
Signs, posters, and similar forms of announcements may not be posted anywhere in classrooms, in alcoves leading to classrooms, or on walls, doors, or columns, and are permitted only on approved bulletin boards. Individuals or groups are limited to a single sign, poster, or similar form of announcement per bulletin board. Announcements may not be written on white boards in the classrooms.
Banners are not permitted anywhere within the perimeter of the College of Law buildings. Regulations and procedures will be developed to govern the display of banners outside the perimeter of the buildings.
Any signs, posters, banners, or similar forms of announcements that are posted other than on approved bulletin boards or in approved locations will be taken down or otherwise removed. Signs, posters, banners, and similar forms of announcements that are posted on approved bulletin boards or in approved locations must be taken down or removed after seven days.
Smoking
Smoking is not permitted anywhere within the perimeter of the College of Law buildings or within 50 feet of an entrance. Smoking areas outside the perimeter of the buildings will be designated.
