Smoking Huts
Our goal is to provide a safe and healthy campus environment. On our campus, smoking is prohibited everywhere on the campus--other than in five designated areas. Those are Kaiser Parking Lot and four smoking hut locations.
Smoking Hut Locations
- Willard - DiLoreto Parking Lot
- Behind Copernicus Hall
- Between the Student Center and Welte Hall
- Next to Sam May Residence Hall
*This policy applies to students, employees, contractors, and campus visitors.
