Long-Term Modifications of Facilities and Grounds
Any (non-facilities) Olin Community member(s) wishing to display an installation long-term or make long-term (including permanent) modifications to Olin facilities (i.e., installing a post-it mural on a window or painting a mural on a wall) or grounds must seek approval prior to making the modification. Community members must submit a detailed proposal, including design, plan for execution, maintenance/stewardship, removal (if relevant), and budget/funding information to the Dean of Student Affairs. Any modifications must also be done in compliance with the applicable Massachusetts and Needham laws and regulations.
The Dean of Student Affairs will convene the appropriate group to discuss and consider the change based on location. For example, in the residence halls, the committee might include the Director of Facilities, Associate Director for Housing and Residence Life, and CORe Campus Services Rep. In the Miller Academic Center, the decision may be referred to the Space Force. For any modifications within “Parcel B,” Facilities and Operations will be consulted. The group may seek additional information from the community member(s) proposing the project and may work with the proposer(s) on modifications to make the project feasible. The relevant group will provide a decision on the proposal in a timely manner.
