Room Scheduling
Send an e-mail message to Event Services with the following information: day and date, start and end time of planned event, name of event, room requested, number of people involved, and setup time needed. Students reserving rooms must also provide the name of an advisor who is a staff or faculty person at George Fox University. Rooms are set up as needed for regular university business. Rooms are to be used and left as found.

Phase II (Recycling)
Sponsored by Plant Services, the Phase II program takes place at the end of each school year to recycle usable items left behind by students. The items are sorted and then given to the needy.

Campus Phones
Residence hall rooms, apartments, and houses all have single phone lines. Students need to provide their own phones. Phone cards for long distance calls can be purchased in the University Bookstore.

Voice mail is also available to students free of charge. One voice mail box is provided with each phone line.

Work Request Process
All work requests must be turned in to Plant Services by the building monitors, alternates, area coordinators, or assistant area coordinators. Plant Services will not accept work requests directly from students.

Emergency requests will be responded to as soon as possible. Emergencies include fire, flood, and natural disasters. Priority requests will always be done ahead of a low priority request; i.e. a dripping faucet must be put aside if there is a broken water pipe somewhere. If a request has been turned in at Plant Services at the end of the day, unless it is an emergency, it will be considered the following day as a first-day request.

Project requests are any requests for work that do not specifically deal with the maintenance or repair of an existing condition within a building or on grounds; in some way the request is for something new. It always has the option of being out-sourced. It requires its own funding source (budget line) and will be scheduled in deference to critical maintenance needs. Plant Services office hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Fire Emergency
If a fire alarm sounds, immediately evacuate the building in an orderly manner. Call 911 with your name, location, and information on site conditions. Then call Security Services at ext. 2090 (503-554-2090 from off campus). Go to your designated congregating area. Do not leave the area until everyone is accounted for. Do not re-enter the building until authorized to do so.

If you see fire or smoke but there is no alarm, immediately evacuate the building. Pull a fire alarm box on your way out. Call 911 with your name, location, and information on site conditions. Then call Security Services at ext. 2090 (503-554-2090 from off campus).

Campus Security To contact the security director, call ext. 2090 (503-554-2090 from off campus). Use this number also to request security team services such as escorts, lockouts, or vehicle assistance.

In the case of a security emergency (assault, crime in progress, etc.), dial 911. Contact the security director and school officials as soon as possible once police are notified.

The university's lost and found is located at Security Services. Articles or keys found are regularly turned in to the lost and found.
