When a meeting is in progress, lounge noise must be kept to a minimum. We are working on better sound dividers, but until that time, meetings trump activities of a loud nature.

Meetings must clean up after the meeting and make way for the next group coming in.
Meeting secretaries asked to remind each group: no smoking or vaping near the building; put cell phones on vibrate and take all conversations outside; no going in the kitchen; only service animals allowed and must be on a leash and with their owner.
