Reserving OIST facility for a recreational activity

Table of Contents

The following rules will come into effect for the fiscal year 2025 to ensure equitable access to practice rooms for both recurring and occasional activities while maintaining consistency of the recurring activities and reducing the administrative workload.

About Quiet Hours:

Hours between 8pm and 8am are designated as 'Quiet Hours' in the above rooms. During these hours, everyone MUST NOT MAKE ANY NOISE in these rooms. Failing to follow this rule will result in the suspension of the right to reserve these rooms until effective noise-control measures are presented by the respective group, and agreed upon between the RS and the respective group.

RS will also stop accepting reservation requests from other groups that want to use the room for the same/similar activity until the noise-control measures are presented and agreed upon before use.

Respect the residents' living

Since these rooms are inside the campus residential areas, the conductors of the recreational activities held inside these rooms must make sure all of their activity participants respect the residents' living even outside the Quiet Hours while conducting their activities. If a recreational activity receives a complaint about its conduct, all members are requested to take necessary measures to improve the situation. If the situation doesn't improve after three complaints, the activity in question might be suspended until another room that is suitable for the activity is found/available.

Policy enforcement:

  • Compliance: All users must adhere to the terms outlined in this policy and OIST PRP regarding use of OIST facilities
  • Feedback and adjustments: RS will regularly review the policy's effectiveness and make adjustments as needed, based on community feedback.
