GENERAL MANUAL OF PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES FOR LABORATORY

ROOMS (DRAFTING & COMPUTER)

1. Class studio, drafting or lab time is expected to be spent in lab work. Lab time is not free
time. Attendance and concerted work on assignments are required. Work at home will
be required in addition to work during lab times (work at home should not substitute for
work during lab periods).
2. The CAYGO policy is strictly enforced. After class, students are required to clean their
workplace, throw their trash in the appropriate waste bins, and place their stools (upside
down) on top of their drafting tables, Lavatories are found in each drafting room for the
cleaning of brushes and water color pans. “Clean As You GO.”
3. Rooms marked H700, H706, H708, H710 & H711 are equipped with 50 drafting tables, 50
stools, 1 instructor’s table & chair, a chalkboard and 1 set lavatory for drafting or studio
classes. Since these rooms are also used for studio work (painting, scale model, props
making, etc…) table surfaces are generally not smooth, hence, students are advised to
bring board matting or their personal drafting board for drawing and manual drafting
purposes.
4. H501 is the assigned computer laboratory room for all Architecture CADD courses. One
computer unit is assigned for each student.
