Classroom maintenance guidelines
The Assets and Facilities Management Group (AFM) kindly reminds the university community to help maintain our classrooms as safe, clean, and comfortable learning spaces.
Please take note of the following:

- Respect our shared spaces—no vandalism, please. Let us maintain a clean and welcoming environment for everyone.
- Finished early or cancelled your class? Inform AFM so we can manage the space better.
