Buildings and Grounds/Facilities Office

http://law.lclark.edu/offices/business_services/facilities_and_media_requests/

Facility Services is located in the Legal Research Center in the Business Services office next to the Registrar’s office. Hours are 8:30am-5:00pm Monday through Friday. Forms to submit written service requests are located here. After hours you may use the drop box. Requests for audio visual assistance, event setups, repair, maintenance and lockers are handled by Facilities. Head of Facilities is Kurt Armstrong kda@lclark.edu

Priority for the use of law school facilities, especially classrooms, will be given to the conduct of classes and other official law school functions. Organizations or individuals wishing to use any law school facilities must have permission from the law school and must reserve such facilities with the Law School Business Services Office. Reservations will be on a first-come first-served basis and subject to the availability of space and appropriateness of the intended use. These facilities are available only for purposes related to the law school or the legal profession. Reservations must be made at least one week in advance and confirmed at least one day in advance.

The law school, however, reserves the right to cancel such reservations if a priority use of the space becomes necessary or it is subsequently discovered that the intended use is inappropriate.

Smoking Policy

The College takes seriously its obligation to provide a safe, healthy environment for faculty, staff, students and guests. The College is guided by the Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act in efforts to provide an appropriate work and learning environment.

Please visit the link below for complete details of our new smoking policy effective August, 23, 2010.

Institutional Smoking Policy

Classrooms

Since all classrooms are air conditioned and heated, keep doors, including the rear door, closed at all times. If it becomes uncomfortable, please advise Facilities in Business Services.

Building Security

Law school buildings will be kept open as long as and when necessary for law school functions. Faculty office areas will be secured between 10:00 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. weekdays. The areas are closed at all times on the weekends. Common areas of the Legal Research Center will close the same time as the Library. All persons not authorized to occupy facilities during off hours will leave such facilities immediately at the time(s) they are to be secured or when requested to do so by a faculty or staff member or security officer.

Any authorized person entering a law school building(s) during off-hours is responsible for completely securing the building(s) when entering and upon departure. Always keep an eye on your belongings.

Vandalism

Too many law school dollars must be spent to repair or replace buildings, furniture or equipment damaged by vandalism. Such acts by law students are a violation of the Honor Code and, if observed by another student, the act should be reported to the Honor Committee. If anyone other than a law student is observed committing an act of vandalism, report such act to an appropriate administrative official, faculty member or campus security.

Law School Furniture

Any student, faculty, or staff member, who wishes to use any item of law school furniture on or off campus in other than its designated place, must first obtain permission from the Business Services Office, and must return, or ensure the return of such furniture, to its appropriate place within the time constraints given them by Business Services. If the item is damaged, the law school must be reimbursed for the replacement value of the item.

Children on Campus

Minor children on campus must be in the company of their parents, or a designated adult, at all times. Parents are strictly responsible for the conduct and safety of their children while on the law school campus.

Class Recording Policy

By Students

Students may make audio recordings of class sessions only with the prior permission of the professor. Such recordings are for personal use only and may not be uploaded to the internet or otherwise shared, transmitted, or published without the prior consent of the professor. The professor must notify the class when audio recordings are being made. Violation of these guidelines can result in Honor Code proceedings.

 By the Law School

The Law School automatically makes an audio/video recording of all classes (except classes offered in rooms without recording capability and unless the Professor opts out of having the class recorded). If the class is recorded, the Professor decides whether those recordings will be automatically available to all students registered for the class, or whether students must request recordings of specific classes. Students who are not registered for a class do not have access to the recordings. Recordings are intended for a student’s personal use only, and it is an Honor Code violation to forward the link to any other person without the professor’s prior permission.

Lost and Found

Items found at the Law School can be turned in at the switchboard 503-768-6600, (front desk in the Legal Research Building or the front desk of Boley Library.

Student Health Insurance

What should I do about Health Insurance when attending Lewis & Clark?

Lewis & Clark College requires that all degree-seeking and visiting law students have medical insurance coverage comparable to that offered through its comprehensive Student Health Insurance Plan. Students may use the Lewis & Clark Student Health Service and Counseling Service regardless of whether they are enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan.

Lewis & Clark selects an insurance carrier with a broad provider network, giving students the freedom to choose doctors or health care providers when they are needed in the Portland area or when traveling. Please visit the Student Health Insurance website to see current details about the Student Health Insurance plan and requirements:  https://www.lclark.edu/offices/student_health_services/insurance/

Students will be automatically enrolled in and charged for the school-sponsored insurance policy each year. If you have access to other personal insurance, which is comparable to the Student Health Insurance Plan, you may waive the school’s insurance. Students are afforded one opportunity at the start of each academic year to waive the school’s coverage. A new waiver must be submitted each year.  To find out if your proposed insurance is meets the College’s standard for health insurace, go to:  https://www.lclark.edu/offices/student_health_services/insurance/comparable_criteria/.

http://www.lclark.edu/dept/sports/peafacilities.html

Outside there is Griswold Stadium, which includes Eldon Fix Track (an eight-lane all-weather surface) and a football/soccer field.

The outdoor pool, located on the grounds behind the Frank Manor House, is open during warm weather through Labor Day. There are six tennis courts, four next to Pamplin Sports Center and two near the outdoor pool. Three of the four courts adjacent to Pamplin Sports Center are covered by an air dome.

To the extent athletics facilities are available for recreational purposes, law students are entitled to use the facilities and to have equipment, if available, issued to them upon request. Law school I.D. cards are required for the use of the facilities and the issue of locks, lockers, towels and any recreational equipment. Law students using the facilities for recreational purposes may check out a locker in which they can place their street clothes and valuables while using the athletic facilities. Locks are provided. Lockers are assigned by the semester and may be renewed for use each subsequent semester. Locker assignments are restricted to undergraduate students enrolled in P.E. classes for the first two weeks of the undergraduate semester. After that time, any recreational user may be assigned a locker.

During those periods when the undergraduate college is in session, the Pamplin Sports Center will be open with supervisors and lifeguards on duty on a time schedule designed to serve the maximum number of students.
