IV. Areas Where Service Dogs Are Not Allowed to Enter

在服务性动物的存在从根本上改变了项目或活动的性质或具有破坏性的区域，服务犬也可能被排除在外.  Examples may include, but are not limited to, research labs, areas requiring protective clothing, and food preparation areas.  These areas are more thoroughly explained in the next section, 附录中的图表列出了校园内禁止服务犬进入的特定区域.   

Areas Off Limits to Service Dogs

• Research Laboratories狗和其他动物携带的自然生物体可能会对研究结果产生负面影响. At the same time, 研究中使用的化学物质和/或有机体可能对服务性动物有害.
• Mechanical Rooms/Custodial Closets: Mechanical rooms, such as boiler rooms, facility equipment rooms, electric closets, elevator control rooms and custodial closets, are off-limits to service animals. 这些房间里的机械和/或化学品可能对动物有害.
• Food Preparation Areas:  Food preparation areas, 比如在校园餐厅或营养实验室发现的那些, are off limits to service animals per health codes.

Exceptions

个别动物/伙伴团队可根据具体情况获准进入限制区域. The access decision will be made by the AVP, Title IX and Equity, laboratory director or instructor, and, in some cases, the Chemical Safety Manager.

最终决定应根据研究或机器的性质和动物的最佳利益作出. Example: The machinery in a classroom may have moving parts at a height such that the tail of a large dog could easily be caught in it; this is a valid reason for keeping large dogs out. However, 一只非常小的听障犬可能比任何活动部位都要短, therefore, considered for admission to the classroom.
