The computer lab has 29 computer stations (28 for students and 1 for the instructor). Each of these stations consists of a computer, a keyboard, a mouse, and a chair with arms. These items are a unit. Which should make it clear that you should never take a keyboard, a mouse, or a chair from this space. There are no chairs with arms in the Maker Hub or meeting rooms. So, leave the arm chairs in the computer lab. The keyboards and mouses are intended for these computers. If a keyboard or mouse is broken, inform the toolroom. If there is a dire situation where you need to borrow one of these items, as always, RESET THE SPACE. Several classes are held in the computer lab, and we don't want them to waste class-time looking for missing keyboards, mouses, or chairs.

The large whiteboards in the computer lab follow the same principles as the whiteboards in the meeting rooms. Don't remove markers or erasers from the other whiteboards because the ones at your space are missing or not functional. Go to the toolroom and get new ones. They are freely supplied. If the toolroom is closed, maybe you can use your own makers. Whatever you do, RESET THE SPACE. And when you have finished using a whiteboard .. ERASE IT. This is not only resetting the space, but being a professional. Others will want to use it and you are making them clean up your mess. As a side note, this is a public space. If you want to save your whiteboard writing, take a picture. Writing “Do Not Erase” is not an acceptable action for a whiteboard. You can save it yourself and reproduce it quickly later. Again, BE PROFESSIONAL.

While cleaning up after yourself is a good practice, it is particularly important in the computer lab as folks are very likely to spend a considerable amount of time in there. This means you need to be sure to clean up any papers, food, and drink. If you are in a class or lab and receive a handout, it is your job to study it like your wonderful professor intended. But if you are not going to do that, it is your responsibility to throw it away. Leave the space better than you found it.

Clean up after yourself; consider this good practice for marriage if indeed you would like to get married one day. This means you need to be sure to clean up any papers, food, and drink. If you have a class in the computer lab and receive a handout, it is your job to study it like your wonderful professor intended. But if you are not going to do that, it is your responsibility to recycle it. Leave the space better than you found it.

There is a set of 72 small lockers in this room. Their main function is to hold materials for classes and labs for students in those classes and labs. If they are not all in use (and they generally aren’t), they can also be used to house small projects. They are not to be used as personal lockers for non Maker Hub related items. Now clearly, If you are using a locker for Maker Hub reasons, then it is certainly fine to place a textbook or engagement ring in there (preferably in the spring). But don’t secure a locker if you are not actively working on a project or participating in a class/lab. To use the lockers, you will need your own lock. At the end of each semester, the lockers should be cleared out and the locks removed. If there are still locks on them, this will give us a chance to use the bolt cutters and sell the contents on the web. That is always a good time. If you need to maintain a locker over the break, you will need to coordinate with the technician. Please do not set things on top of the lockers. These items will be routinely disposed of without warning. Clearly, setting something on top would not be resetting the space, and hopefully you are discovering that this is an important commandment.
