You will need a Web™ Access Card to operate the laundry machines.
You should have received one during check-in, otherwise you may purchase
a new card from the "Add Value" stations located in the Hamilton Commons, LLC North Lobby, or the Barnhart Lobby. Replacement cards cost five dollars
and come with a pre-loaded value of three dollars. Washing will cost
you seventy-five cents per load with no charge for drying.
Add value to your laundry card by visiting an "Add Value" station.
Value can be added in increments of five dollars.
Laundry cards are treated the same as cash. There are no refunds
for misplaced or lost cards as well as no refunds for any cash value
left on your laundry card at check-out.
Cable television is accessed by connecting a coaxial cable from the bottom
plug on the box to your cable-ready television. Please note that channels are
subject to change.

The University of Oregon has recently received reports of a phone survey(s) whose solicitors are identifying themselves
as related to the university. They are requesting personal information such as Social Security Numbers. Please be advised
that officials at the University of Oregon have NO knowledge of such a university-sponsored phone survey, and thus have
no reason to believe this is a legitimate survey.

Troubleshooting

number (upper left), and the plug number (above the plug) of the troublesome plug.
Please do not damage or modify these boxes--they could cost from $300 to $1000 to

Computer Security
Holes have been drilled in many desktops, to enable you to secure your computer
equipment through the desk. If a hole is not already drilled, you may request one
with a repair request at the Area Desk, or by calling the Maintenance Crew. You
must furnish your own cables and lock; such locks are available at the UO Bookstore
and most computer supply stores.
Recycling conserves natural resources, saves energy, and reduces pollution.
By simply recycling paper, glass, metals, plastic containers, and cardboard boxes,
you are making a difference! For instance, from summer 2005 through spring 2006,
the residence halls and dining venues recycled more than 200 tons of paper and
beverage containers. That figure continues to increase with each student choosing
to recycle in the residence halls.
Use your room's recycling bin to help keep recyclable items separate from
trash. Follow the recycling bin's guidelines for recycling paper, bottles, cans
and cardboard. Recycling stations are located as follows:
|
Laundry rooms |
|
Outside Caswell, Henderson, and Willcox halls |
|
Basement |
|
Behind Young and McClure halls |
|
Outside next to Burgess and Spiller |
|
North Building: Outside near basketball court
South Building:
Ground floor near elevator |
|
Parking lot |
|
Outside DeCou, Adams, Smith, and McAllister halls |
Corrugated cardboard boxes should be flattened and taken to the exterior locations at your complex. Recycling facilities can be found all around campus as well.
Get involved! Contact the housing recycling center coordinator at (541) 346-0929 with ideas or questions or if you are interested in organizing recycling events on campus or in the residence halls.

Custodial Service is responsible for cleaning the public and common areas of the
residence halls. The custodial worker is responsible for cleaning these areas in two
residence halls or an equivalent area each day. Their assigned area is maintained by
cleaning the everyday accumulations of dust and dirt.

Community restrooms are cleaned on a weekday basis. Since Barnhart rooms have
bathrooms, cleaning services are provided on a weekly basis to each restroom in
the Barnhart Hall.
Residents are responsible for removal of their own trash, debris, and refuse. This
includes such things as waste paper, pallets, hair trimmings, newspapers, leftover
food, food containers, dishes, or other items. Personal debris will be left for a
period of approximately 24 hours for the owner to remove. Health and sanitation
standards require that the Custodial Worker take care of it after that time. Since
this will take time out of the workday which should be spent in other public areas,
this cleaning time will be billed to the floor or hall that requires extra time.

leave them slightly ON at ALL times.

in each room, so let your custodial worker or RA know if
you have any problems.

Heaters circulate hot water and will automatically turn on if the temperature drops
too low. There are thermostats on the wall that allow for adjustment of temperature.

or whistling coming from your heater, please inform your RA or custodial worker
with the location so it can be checked.
