Food & Drink Policy in Learning Center
The COM Learning Center is a technologically advanced educational hub designed to teach medical students in a modern environment. Faculty, students, and staff must all act as stewards of the COM Learning Center to preserve the furnishings and equipment for future generations.
Tables and electrical floor boxes in the classrooms are energized with power outlets and A/V connections. To protect the equipment and prevent any safety issues, spill-proof containers must be used when bringing beverages into all educational areas including the auditoria (106 CMW and 227 CMWT), the 2 large active learning rooms (429/527 CMWT), the 3rd floor private study rooms, and the 18 small group classrooms.
The allowance of food in Learning Center classrooms is a decision to be made by the Curricular Affairs office on a case by case basis. When food is permitted, the room must be cleaned with all garbage removed, and left in working condition by the students, faculty, or staff overseeing the event.
Food and drink in the Learning Center educational areas is a privilege. The COM Dean’s Office reserves the right to revoke the privilege if the presence of food and beverages becomes a detriment to the COM Learning Center’s primary function as a teaching facility.
