and Alcohol
The legal drinking
age in Michigan is 21. The University prohibits unlawful possession, use,
or distribution of alcohol or illicit drugs by faculty, staff, or students
on University property or as part of any University event. Alcohol may
not be served or consumed during any class, meeting, seminar, or critique.
Handicap Access
Automatic doors have
been installed in the northwest Bonisteel Blvd. building entrance and
in the men's and women's restrooms on each floor. There is one elevator
on the east side of the building near the Slusser Gallery. Keys
Graduate students may
request keys for the studio of their major area and for their individual
studio from Helen Hoskins, Facilities
Manager. The refundable deposit
for each key is $10.00. Students have access
to the Art & Architecture Building with their M-Card. You may not prop open doors, leave the
building open, or admit people you are not prepared to supervise during
times when the School is closed.
No key to the School of Art & Design may be reproduced for
any reason. Lockers
Students may rent lockers
for a $5.00 refundable fee. See the Building Manager, Helen Hoskins, Room
1106, to secure a locker. Except for red and white approval stickers used
by the manager, no posting is allowed on the outside of lockers. The fee
is returned at the end of the term if the locker is clean. If lockers
are used without authorization, locks will be cut and contents discarded.
Locker approval is required each term; there is no charge for renewal. It is important to
use only a Master Lock #1525 combination padlock, because the Building
Manager, Helen Hoskins, has a master
list of combinations for this lock. In an emergency, locks can be removed
without cutting them. Locks are sold in the bookstore in the Pierpont
Commons; used locks may be purchased from Helen Hoskins.
The Master Lock #1525 should be used on any desks or painting slots
that you secure. Lost and Found

Metered parking is
available in University parking lots behind the A&A building off Fuller
Road and off Murfin Road in the lot behind Pierpont Commons. The cost is 60¢ per hour. Student parking permits
are available to Junior, Senior and Graduate Students only. Freshmen and
Sophomore students are not eligible for parking permits; however, they
may park at one of the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority (AATA) Park
& Ride lots and purchase monthly AATA bus passes, or seek private
parking off campus. Students must be registered for classes to purchase
permits. Generally, parking for students at the University of Michigan
is limited, and we strongly encourage students to leave their vehicles
at home. There are many services available for moving around campus and
the City of Ann Arbor. Personal vehicles are not usually necessary. Freshmen and sophomore
students with exceptional needs who require the use of their vehicles
may appeal the parking eligibility policy by completing a UM
Student Parking Appeal Form. Recycling
The School of Art &
Design recycles the following materials: • Paper: mixed office paper, newspaper, newsprint,
and glossy magazines • Containers: glass bottles,
plastic bottles (#1, 2 & 3), steel & aluminum cans, foil, and paper milk cartons • Corrugated paper and boxes
(collected by custodial staff)
If you see the need
for additional recycle containers in new locations, please contact the
Building Manager, Helen Hoskins, Room 1106. Security
The A&A building
is open and unlocked from 7:00 am until 10:00 pm seven days a week, except
during UM holidays when the building is closed.
Signs announcing closing and reopening times are posted. Students
may access the building after hours with their M Cards. For the safety
of all, PLEASE DO NOT prop exterior doors open after hours. At night a
security guard makes regular rounds in the building. However, if you are
working late at night or in an isolated section, work with a partner.
Make yourself familiar with the building. Know the quickest exit routes
from your working areas. Know where to find the nearest phones. Rely on SAFE WALK (734.936.1000)
and Public Safety (734.763.1131) services when leaving late at night to
go home. Smoking
The Art & Architecture
Building, including the upstairs courtyard, is a non-smoking environment. Smoking is permitted only outdoors. There
are containers to stash your butts at each entrance. All buildings on
campus are non-smoking facilities. Studio Space
Each MFA candidate
is assigned an individual studio space in the School. These studios are in a shared space divided to provide privacy
and, at the same time, easy access to faculty and other graduates. The studio is a professional working area,
and every effort must be made to preserve the rights of others working
in the area. An atmosphere
of quiet should be maintained. Radios
or tape/CD players should be used with headphones, and may not be played
when/if they disturb others. Only currently enrolled
degree students may use studio spaces.
Individual spaces should be kept clean; valuables kept in locked
cabinets. No dangerous or
harmful substances should be stored there.
The health and safety of others is paramount. At the end of the program
or the final term of enrollment, all work and personal belongings must
be cleared from the studio and cabinets; walls and storage areas must
be left clean. Students who
have graduated should have their studio spaces clean and work removed
within two weeks after completion of the term.
Work or supplies left in the space will be removed. Telephones
Pay phones are located
on the first floor near the stairways of the northwest and southeast exit
doors. The southeast rear
telephone now has a TDD box for hearing-impaired persons or for anyone
trying to reach a hearing-impaired person.
In addition, there are free campus telephones in the hallway outside
the School of Art & Design Dean’s Office (2055), across from
the Metals Studio (1069), and near the Sculpture Studio (1258). When using a campus telephone, dial only the last five digits
of the number to call another campus phone. Thefts
All thefts should be
reported immediately to the Building Manager (734.763.3132), and to University
Security (734.763.1131). Secure your supplies, your personal belongings,
and your artwork to the extent you possibly can. On balance, the Art &
Architecture Building is a safe, crime-free environment. Don't tempt the
fates with carelessness. General use Campus Computing Sites on Central Campus are:

The University Health
Service (UHS) offers comprehensive primary health care to students, faculty
and staff at the University of Michigan.
Most services are provided at no extra charge to currently enrolled
students. Health insurance
is recommended, however, to cover possibilities such as middle-of-the-night
visits to hospital emergency rooms or hospitalizations, as these services
are not available at UHS, and students do not receive free medical care
outside of the UHS facility. Non-enrolled
students and student’s family members (10-years-old and above) may
receive care at UHS by joining their Prepaid Health Care Plan. The UHS Medical Clinics
can see patients by appointment, and, if necessary, on an urgent care
(walk-in) basis. For more
information on hours, call the UHS info Hotline.
In a medical emergency, or for information or advice on scheduling
an appointment, call the emergency line for advice. The UHS Treatment Center can handle a variety of minor emergency
situations. University Health Service 207 Fletcher Info Hotline: (a taped message) 734.764.8320 Emergencies: 734.763.4511 Medical Appointment Scheduling Office:
