MALONE CENTER
FACILITIES USE POLICY
Malone Center teaching spaces are available to the faculty and staff of the University of Montevallo through reservation. Reservations must be requested by completing the Facilities Request Form below. Reservations will be confirmed through email to the responsible party.
The highest priority for use of facilities will be given to support innovative and/or technology-enhanced teaching and learning. The highest priority for use of Wills 101 will be for hybrid courses led by instructors with an Adobe Connect license. With the exception of Wills 101, facilities may not be reserved as the regularly scheduled meeting place for classes in order to allow for equitable access. Instead, reservations will only be accepted for periodic uses that require such facilities.
The individual indicated as the “Responsible Party” on the Facilities Request Form assumes responsibility to protect equipment from theft, loss, or damage. This person is expected to attend the event and is responsible for securing the room upon departure. Financial liability for the loss or damage of equipment or facilities due to negligence rests fully with the responsible party.
The responsible party must receive training on equipment use before reserving these facilities.
Additional Terms and Conditions for Use:
- Combination codes to facility locks are confidential—faculty and staff use only. Students or student workers should not be given the combination to open or prepare room for faculty members.
