Return to Campus

Louisiana Tech is committed to ensuring the researchers – both students and faculty members – working in University labs stay healthy and safe while they conduct their research.

Guidelines for researchers:

• In Phase Two, researchers should limit time on campus and only perform research tasks that cannot be completed at home.
• Individuals working in labs must wear face coverings when not alone in the lab.
• Each facility may have other requirements for working in labs. Please contact the building coordinator to find out more specific guidance.
• Individuals should disinfect lab areas thoroughly after use.
• Lab Coordinators should maintain sign-in and sign-out records for everyone accessing their facilities.

Researchers should also review the following videos for additional information and education:

• CNN video that describes the value of face coverings, filling out daily survey, etc: http://www2.latech.edu/~jpalmer/CNN_COVID.mp4
• N95 reuse in a healthcare setting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfw2tvjiCxM (The protocol is likely more than necessary in our labs but teaches how to properly don/doff the mask and helpful recommendations like storing in a paper bag for reuse.)
