the Breakroom and the other is at the Service Desk.

Woolite Carpet Cleaner 

Bissell Wet Vac 

Use for quick spot cleaning.  Located in the workroom. If spot is uncleanable, a TMA will need to be 

sent via SNOW ticket to "Property Services" for deeper cleaning. 

 

The Cleaning Station

We are also giving patrons a chance to clean up their spills or crumbs since we do allow food and beverages in our space. There is a cleaning station located near the booths and mediascapes.  Patrons can also ask for help cleaning their messes at the Service Desk. There should always be 2 Lysol packages at the cleaning station; 1 package in each of the Mediascapes, and 2 packages in the Tutoring area.

For situations like:
  • Emergency exit door alarm was triggered -->We have a key to reset it in the black cabinet. (If there is suspicious activity, call Police at 281.290.5911.)
  • Toilets are overflowing or someone vomitted in the Learning Commons. (Call Ben Jackson at 281.312.1441. Ben can send a custodian to fix immediately.)
  • Something hazardous in the space needing removal immediately such as broken glass or broken furniture. (Call Mike Mendoza at 281.312.1549 so he can send someone right away.)

The Breakroom

Employees are welcome to have a drink at their work space. However, it is encouraged that one's beverage be in an enclosed container to prevent accidents in their work area. 
Our breakroom (LIB 116) is a fantastic, welcoming space with a refrigerator, microwave, Keurig, and a sink. For optimal customer service, please enjoy your food in the break room or your space of choice elsewhere on campus, not in your work area. 
There are two cabinets under the microwaves that may be used to house food. All food must be stored in sealed containers (plastic, metal, or glass) to discourage pest visits. Any food left unsealed will be tossed immediately and without warning. Please label all your food left in the space (in the fridge and cabinets). There are two drawers under the Keurig that has an assortment of hot beverages and tools for all to enjoy. At the end of the semester, supervisors will toss all remaining items that are not taken home.

The top of the counter in the breakroom is a shared space.  Treats left on the counter for birthday, holiday, and Pro Dev or brought in for sharing are for all Learning Commons employees. Please do not leave your lunch or snack on the counter, or it will be considered fair game. 

 Please clean up the spaces after your snack or meal. Put away cleaned cutlery and dishes used in the process of making or consuming your food. There are paper towels and wipes next to the sink in the Break Room and on the shelves in the Workroom. Please do NOT leave dishes in the sink!
