Faculty Offices
Each full-time Faculty member will be assigned an office on campus. Part-time instructors will usually have to share office space with other part-time Faculty. The Associate Dean coordinates assigning of Faculty offices with Division Chairs and the Dean based on considerations of seniority and rank as well as divisional and programmatic needs.
The Norton Center for the Arts
The facilities of the Norton Center -- including Weisiger Theatre, the Grand Foyer, and Newlin Hall -- are available for classes, receptions, meetings, performances, exhibits, and other College-related functions. Reservations may be made through the Norton Center Office.
Faculty members may purchase at half price up to two season tickets to the Newlin Hall Series. Payroll deduction is available for series tickets only. Payments will be deducted in equal monthly installments beginning with the September pay period.
Athletic Facilities
The Athletic Department schedules and coordinates use of the facilities. The department secretary serves as liaison with other offices on campus and with the summer programs coordinator. The Sutcliffe Athletics Center and Buck Fitness Center are open to Centre students, Faculty, and staff daily. For more information, go to http://www.centreathletics.com/information/fitness_center/general_info
Faculty and staff family members may use the facilities when not in use by students or for previously scheduled activities. Priority in use of facilities goes to College classes and team practices or workouts, students, Faculty, and staff members, and fitness card holders, in that order.
All employees and their immediate family members (i.e., spouses and children living at home who are under 21) must obtain a College ID card and have it in their possession for identification when using the facilities. To obtain an ID card, visit the Student Life Office between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. No appointment is necessary.
Members of the Faculty are also invited to participate in all intramural sports. Faculty-staff teams are formed for most intramural sports. If no such team is formed, members of the Faculty and staff may play on a student team, except that not more than one Faculty or staff member may play on a student team.
