Maximizing use of classroom facilities – COVID-19 management plan

June through December 2020

(Approved by Deans Council, June 10, 2020)

Constants in the formulation of our plans for phased return to campus Informed by CDC Guidance (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/colleges-universities/index.html) and adherence to UTHSA Campus Operations Guidance (https://wp.uthscsa.edu/coronavirus/category/return-to-campus-plan/)

• Managing infection control on our campuses • Health/safety of our faculty, staff, learners • Universal temperature screening • Universal masking • 6-ft physical distance between persons or lab stations • In a lab or clinical simulation environment, limit of 2 persons per station • Assigned seating location for future contact tracing, as may be needed • Requirements from professional accrediting organizations

Factors that influence the pandemic management plan for classroom utilization

• See revised room capacity document In summary, room capacity is now down to the following options: Revised classroom inventory:

• 1 room =181 occupants (Holly Auditorium) • 5 rooms with capacity between 49 and 70 students (including Pestana, Large Lecture

Rm behind Starbucks, DTL classrooms, SON-Hurd Aud., and ALTC) • 12 rooms with capacity between 20-48 students • 33 rooms with capacity between 10-19 students

Thus, June through December 2020 Lecture courses remain online. This includes seminars. Schedules for classroom use, especially large classroom use restricted to:

o Academic examinations (need to map out exact dates/times to maximize use) o In-person educational activities that require specialized equipment or lab space o In-person educational activities that require supervised student-student learning

prior to clinical or lab activities o In-person patient discussions o Externally administered benchmarking examinations

Schools will prioritize requests within programs under their purview through the respective Academic Affairs Deans. Non-academic requests are also vetted through the Academic Affairs Deans, to give priority to the academic programs.
