Housekeeping Checklist for Program Partners

The following is a brief housekeeping checklist to orient you to the Dornsife Center and to ensure your program or event runs smoothly: 

 

Restrooms

Ryan Hall – Restrooms are located near the front stairwells on the 1st and 2nd floors.

Carriage House – Restrooms are located on the left side of the building on the 1st and 2nd floors.

Lindy House – Restrooms are located behind the stairwell, near the kitchen on the 1st floor.

 

What you need to bring with you

The Dornsife Center has basic programming equipment that you can request to borrow in advance of your program. These items are: projector (VGA and USB A to B cables included in bag - please note that the USB A to B cable only works for USB 2.0 ports, so it may not be compatible with the newer PCs as most are using USB 3.0 ports now), dry erase markers, easel, and wooden podium. If you plan on using our projector, please make sure you bring your own computer along with the necessary adapter you may need if the VGA or USB A to B cables do not work for your device (ex. HDMI cord, VGA to mini-display port adapter).

 

Borrowing & Returning Equipment

Please arrive at the Dornsife Center 30 minutes before your program is scheduled to start to allow for time to setup and make sure everything is functioning properly. Upon arrival, please check in with the Administrative Assistant at the front desk in the Lindy House (mansion building). At that time, you will have the opportunity to sign out the projector, easel, and/or dry erase materials that you reserved for your program. If your program starts after 5pm, please pick up the materials from the guard in the Lindy House. A Dornsife Staff member will come 15 minutes before your program begins to check in with you.

 

To borrow our equipment (projector, dry erase markers, or other materials), we kindly ask our program partners to include this request when they fill out the space reservation form or email us in advance to ensure that we have the materials available for you to use. If you did not reserve any of our equipment in advance, you can ask the Dornsife Staff on site that night to see if you can borrow it. Please note that we cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide equipment, depending on the needs of other programs simultaneously running onsite.

 

If you borrowed a projector, dry erase markers, or other materials, kindly return them to the receptionist area on the 1st floor of the Lindy House. For evening programming, please return these items to the guard stationed in the building where your program is being held.

 

If you have any questions or need help during your program, here's who you can call: 


  • Daytime programming*
    • Call our main number at (215) 571-4013 or stop by the Lindy House receptionist area on the 1st floor.
