Use of Facilities During COVID-19

Overview

Santa Fe College (SF) has implemented a hierarchy of controls in order to mitigate the risk of spreading COVID-19. These controls include but are not limited to a daily self-assessment; face coverings (masks); physical distancing; and room or event capacity adjustments. Prior to accessing College property, all users must review and agree to observe the following policies before visiting campus. All visitors to campus must follow the same protocols as students and employees. Failure to comply will result in a loss of the privilege to remain on College property.

Daily Safety Self-Assessment

SF requests that all individuals perform a Daily Self-Assessment prior to arriving to campus in order to support the College in maintaining a safe and healthy environment. This assessment is a helpful reminder to follow safe practices and is an important tool to preserve the overall health of the community.

Face Masks and Coverings

Face coverings (masks) are strongly encouraged for all visitors while on any SF property, regardless of vaccination status. The complete face covering protocol is available on the SF website, which includes college policies and contact information for questions or issues involving noncompliance. Remote or virtual access is recommended for any individual who is unable to comply with the face covering protocol.

Physical Distancing

Physical distancing, also called “social distancing,” means keeping a safe space between yourself and others who are not from your household. All visitors to any SF property are encouraged to practice physical distancing and promote the overall wellness of the college community as a whole.

Meeting Rooms

Many of SF’s meeting rooms have been temporarily decommissioned and repurposed into high-capacity classrooms. Further, the college continues to follow guidance from the CDC, as well as state and local health experts on how best to mitigate the risk of spreading COVID-19. Recommendations have led to reductions in room capacities and resulted in a very limited use of space for non-College activities.

In addition, the serving of food in meeting or gathering spaces is limited and must be first approved by a designated college official. Cleaning supplies are available during events and attendees are responsible for wiping down the areas in use.
