Student Housing channels which offer announcements of interest to students
and summer guests.

Excessive messes caused by community members will not be cleaned by custodial
staff, and residents may incur additional charges for such infractions.
Residents are responsible for the upkeep of their rooms and suites.
Those using community kitchens are responsible for cleaning up after
each use. To help keep individual rooms and the community clean, residents
can check out cleaning equipment and supplies at area service desks —
this is shared equipment that should be returned after each use.
Maintenance and Repair
Repair and maintenance issues should be directed to the area service
desk or on-call staff when the service desk is closed. Maintenance
staff
are
available weekdays from 8am-4:30pm, and can respond to most requests
within two working days; emergency repairs will be handled the same
day.
Fire Safety
Residence halls are protected by an excellent fire detection and response
system. Each room is equipped with fire detection equipment which,
when
triggered, initiates full and immediate response from UC Davis Fire Department,
which also supports a HazMat unit and EMS technicians. Because of the
sensitivity of this equipment, electric cooking appliances are prohibited
in all halls. Guests found to have tampered with fire safety equipment
will be billed.
Upon checking into your room, please familiarize yourself with available
exits and placement of fire alarm pull boxes. If you discover a fire,
pull the alarm and immediately leave the building through the nearest
exit. |
