Gas grills, camp stoves, hot plates, and toaster ovens are prohibited.

Murals

Murals must get approval in writing by the Greener Organization. Proposals must include a written description of the project, supply list, dimensions and a color sketch of the design.

Mural/Continual Student Image Making Policy

The proposed policy means that new student images would replace older images in an orderly manner once the space was full of images. The oldest image would always be the next image to be replaced.

Designated Locations:

• Exterior stair well or fire towers in B, C and D buildings would be primary locations. The fire towers were chosen because they do not vent or exchange air with the building, limiting indoor air pollution from the painting process. Each fire tower has a continual supply of fresh air.
• One interior location near the main entry of each building. Painting in these areas will occur during summer or academic break periods.
• Each designated location would have a defined picture frame area for the image. Images would have to stay within the defined space.
• No image can be found to be offensive in nature, violate the Social Contract, Evergreen or Residential and Dining Services policies.
• This will NOT be a free speech area for art although freedom of artistic expression will be respected.
• These designated areas would not be “free art” areas.

Approval Process:

• A color sketch by a student wishing to create an image is submitted to their RA. The sketch must reasonably represent the final image.
• The RA reviews the sketch/image with their RD to ensure the image is not offensive in any way. If the RA/RD finds an image to be offensive they will explain their concerns to the student and ask for a revision of the image.
• The student takes the RA/RD approved sketch to the GO for approval, selection of location and funding.
• If the GO approves, a letter of responsibilities is sent to the student artist by the GO and cc to Residential and Dining Services.

Artist Responsibilities:

• Create a color sketch of image and submit it to their RA and the GO.
• Once the image is approved by the GO, the artist signs painting responsibilities agreement.
• Painting agreement includes the following:
  • Agreement to produce image proposed and/or seek secondary approval for major changes.
  • Location for image.
  • Timeline for completion.
  • Cleaning/damage responsibilities.
  • Funding limitation and purchasing process.
  • Final approval and digital image record for archive.

Preserving the Past/Future:

• Residential and Dining Services will take digital images of all existing wall art this quarter creating an archive of images.
• All new images will have digital image created for archive.
• Each fall the RAs for buildings B, C and D will post past wall art pictures and the process for creating new images.
• Residential and Dining Services will create a website to host student generated wall art images.

Repairs/Work Orders

Staff is available to fix any items that are furnished with your apartment/unit. Call 867-6132 to request a work order. You will need to supply your name, phone and room number, and details of the work needed and/or the situation.
