12. Lab Cleanup

It is desirable that all who attend the weekly lab meeting also assist for a brief period after the meeting to restore the lab to a tidy and organized state.

This is known, not suprisingly, as "Lab Cleanup". The weekly meetings are scheduled for an hour, and Lab Cleanup is to occupy the remainder of the scheduled hour, if the meeting breaks up early, or to occupy the five minutes immediately following the meeting otherwise.

The laboratory is a common-use area, and it should be kept reasonably clean at all times. In understanding the intention of this policy, it is worth remarking that tidy and organized work materials near consoles are a healthy sign of productive activity. But things such as (but not limited to) empty food containers, dirty dishes, strewn library materials, and randomly scattered papers are likely to give a bad impression to visitors in the lab (or fellow lab members).

The lab is not only your home, it is the home of your fellow graphics students as well, and it is also the area in which we host visitors and occasionally hope to impress dignitaries. The "lab", by the way, includes the workstation area, the kitchen, the library, the machine room, the experiment room, and the radiometer room.
