Blackman Music Building Regulations

Security 

Since the Blackman Music Building contains a great deal expensive equipment and students and faculty store their teaching and study materials and equipment in the building, it is necessary that security measures be strictly observed. 

  1. All faculty studios and classrooms must be locked when a faculty member is not present. 
  2. Outside doors on the north (Drayton Avenue) side of the building must remain closed and locked at all times. 
  3. All audio and visual equipment will be locked when not in use for teaching or assigned study. 
  4. No personal property (music, books, instruments, etc.) is to be left in the practice rooms or classrooms. Such items will be collected and disposed of by the maintenance staff. 

Hours 

Blackman Music Building is open daily from 7:00 am until 11:00 pm when classes are in session. Faculty members may be issued keys to outside doors but are not subject to admit students for individual practice when the building is locked. 

Housekeeping 

Blackman Music Building is the largest teaching facility on the campus and demands great effort on the part of the housekeeping staff. The following are intended to save their time and effort. 

  1. No food or drink is permitted in the building except for lobby areas and at scheduled receptions. Converse University is a tobacco-free campus. 
  2. All windows and doors should be kept closed at all times in order to maintain the benefits of air-conditioning and heating and to preserve correct humidity levels for the instruments. 
  3. No furniture may be moved from one area to another without authorization by the Music Office. 
  4. Please post notices on designated bulletin boards only. 
  5. Equipment found in public areas should be brought immediately to the Music Office. 
  6. Lights should be turned off when leaving rooms. 

Equipment and Facilities 

  1. No equipment is to be taken from the building for use at home or in other buildings on the campus. 
  2. Use of Daniel Recital Hall must be arranged through the Administrative Assistant, who will act in consultation with the Director of the Petrie School. 
  3. All other spaces may be reserved through the Administrative Assistant.
