Smoking

For reasons of public health, the College became smoke free, effective August 1, 2005.  This policy extends to all Centre buildings including but not limited to indoor/outdoor classrooms, studios, offices, residential facilities, break rooms, restrooms, administrative buildings, and dining facilities.  Smoking is also prohibited within the College owned or leased vehicles.  All smoking is limited to the outside away from exits and entryways.  Smoking includes, but is not limited, to the use of cigarettes, cigars, pipes, water pipes (hookahs), and electronic cigarettes.  This policy applies to all individuals including faculty, staff, students, and visitors to the College.

Beginning in Fall, 2016 smoking will be further restricted, and will no longer be allowed inside the academic quadrangle.  The academic quadrangle is a horseshoe formed by sidewalks beginning at the Northern corner of the Campus Center at Main Street, extending South to include sidewalks in front of Old Carnegie, Sutcliffe, Crounse, Young, Olin, then North to end at Old Centre near Main Street.

Additionally, members of the community who choose to smoke near the residence halls must do so at least 10 feet away from non-LEED certified buildings, and at least 25 feet away from LEED-Certified buildings (Pearl and Brockman).
