Campus Map In collaboration with the IT department, we have created a new Main Campus Map and Gronowski Center Map.
Gender Neutral Bathroom After receiving a request to create a gender neutral bathroom on main campus, we converted the men's bathroom in Building 2 to a gender neutral bathroom. Appropriate signage was created and posted, and a lock was installed so that the bathroom can be locked from the inside to allow privacy. Recyclying/Waste Program We have implemented a composting and recycling program at Main Campus. The program is in partnership with Greenwaste of Palo Alto which handles waste management for the area. Compost Video Recycling Video Trash No Smoking Policy We have recently made a change to our policy regarding the use of tobacco at PAU.
