Arrival

These arrival instructions are for independent visitors (researchers, course faculty and TAs, etc.) only.  If you are enrolled in an FHL course or internship, or participating in a conference or field trip at FHL, you will receive separate information about where to go when you get here.

You may check in any time after 3 pm. When you come onto campus, take your first right into the main parking lot. Walk the bridge toward the Fernald Lab (main) building. Outside the double entrance doors, you’ll see a white lockbox to your left. Open the lockbox using the keypad code you received from the Visitor Coordinator and look for a packet with your name on it.

Departure

Check out is before 11 am, in order to give the custodians time to clean for the next arrival. Upon departure, please leave your housing unit as clean as when you arrived, dispose of your garbage/recycling in the dumpsters outside, and wash your dishes.  You may leave the key in your locked unit or drop it in the key drop outside the main office/Fernald Lab. The key drop box is located underneath the lockbox where you picked your keys up on arrival.

If you used a lab space, clean it thoroughly, returning all supplies and equipment to their places and removing your belongings; clean and drain your sea tables, returning all living organisms to where you collected them; clean out any refrigerator or freezer space you used, leaving nothing behind.

If additional staff time is required for cleaning housing, lab spaces, or equipment beyond what is ordinarily needed, you will be billed for the extra time at a rate of $50/hour.

Payment

If you are paying by card (MC/Visa), check, or cash, please make your payment in the Front Office before departure. If your payment is by card, you may call the office and provide the card information over the phone: 206-616-0702.  If you will be departing at a time when the Front Office will be closed, please come by or phone the office while it is open (M-F, 8:30-4) to make your payment. If the Front Office is closed for your entire visit (e.g. you are staying for a Saturday night only), make arrangements in advance with the Visitor Coordinator or Office Coordinator for making your payment.
