Changes

Ok, moving onward. You might have noticed that the Maker Hub itself and many of the facility doors around the Maker hub are access-controlled. The main doors should not be propped open except for Maker Hub events. Unless a [[Facilities|facility]] is being monitored by the Maker Hub staff, a Maker Hub work study student, or a volunteer/ace, the facility doors should not be propped open. Please leave these doors closed under normal circumstances. Obvious exceptions are the [[Meeting Rooms|meeting rooms]] and [[Computer Lab|computer lab]] (we don't care if you use them with the doors open or closed). Other exceptions are the [[Wood Shop|wood shop]] and [[Welding Shop|welding shop]]; while users are working in these two spaces, the doors must remain propped open for safety reasons. You might be surprised how something so simple as "proper door usage" factors into the SAFETY FIRST and BE PROFESSIONAL commandments. It is a serious liability concern for the Maker Hub and the university if people are using the space without undergoing the proper safety training. If you're unsure if the people walking behind you have access to a certain facility, ask... don't be afraid to introduce yourself and make new friends. Everyone in the space should understand the three commandments and will be expected to adhere to these principles.

Finally, as a friendly reminder, we have security cameras posted throughout the Maker Hub, so do be on your best behavior. The cameras exist to help protect the space and enforce violations. All public areas are under constant surveillance, and everything is being recorded. This means that, if necessary, the video can be reviewed to help identify nefarious behavior or the cause of an accident. If an accident happens in the Maker Hub, first decide if you need to call an ambulance. Second, notify the Lead Technician and/or Maker Hub Manager. Even if no one got hurt... if you broke something... if something dangerous happened... if a significant malfunction occurred, but then it magically fixed itself later... please notify the Maker Hub employees. It's always better to take initiative in owning your mistakes than for the Maker Hub staff to find out what happened by reviewing the camera footage.

If you leave a mess behind, we will find you on the camera footage and exhort you to rectify the mess promptly. Repeat offenders should expect their Maker Hub access to be suspended.
