Desk Checklist

In the second drawer at the right hand side of the desk the FrontDesk binder. This binder contains the communication log, the noise complaints log, the desk checklist, a list of university interpreters, contact numbers for the emergency dean, maintenance guides to fuse boxes and shut off valves, and miscellaneous other materials.

The checklist provides a schedule of front desk activities and the times they should be done. On first arrival, the night clerk should

• make sure that all the switches behind the counter are locked (except the gameroom and the west study lounge),
• check the lights to see if any stairwells are open (close them if so),
• turn elevator access to the basement off,
• check that the NE entry is locked (the one by the entry to Food Service),
• go outside to close the sundeck bicycle storage, and
• come back in and flip the switch to lock the NW entry.
