This is a reminder that food and beverages (other than water in closed containers) are strictly prohibited in all laboratories and library spaces.
These restrictions are in place to:
- Protect the health and safety of students, faculty, staff, and visitors
- Prevent contamination and maintain required environmental standards in laboratory settings
- Preserve library materials, technology, and furnishings
- Maintain clean, quiet, and distraction-free study environments
Recently, we have observed an increase in food-related spills, pests, and sanitation concerns in these areas. Please refrain from bringing or consuming any food items in labs or the Library.
Students and visitors are encouraged to enjoy their meals in our designated lounges, cafeterias, and common areas, which are equipped and maintained for this purpose.
Your cooperation is essential to maintaining safe, compliant, and welcoming academic spaces for everyone.
If you observe food-related issues or require assistance, please contact Facilities Management at 718.982.3210
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
