Certain Malone Center facilities are available to the faculty and staff of the University of Montevallo through reservation. The highest priority for use of these facilities is to support innovative teaching and learning and technology-enhanced activities. To allow equitable access, most of these facilities may not be reserved as the regularly-scheduled meeting place for classes. Instead, reservations will be accepted for periodic uses that require such facilities.

The individual indicated as the “Responsible Party” on the Facilities Request Form assumes responsibility, during the reservation period, to protect equipment from theft, loss, or damage and to secure the room upon departure. Financial liability for the loss or damage of equipment or facilities due to negligence rests fully with the responsible party. The Director of the Malone Center and the Dean of the College of Education will make the final determination of negligence and associated repair or replacement cost.

Additional Terms and Conditions for Use:

• If equipment is to be used, the user must schedule and receive training on its operation before use.
• Combination codes to facility locks are confidential—faculty and staff use only. Students or student workers should not be given the combination to open or prepare room for faculty members.
