• 6 – Crossroads Tower and atrium area

SPH exterior entrances are unlocked Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.

After-hours building access is limited to SPH faculty, staff, students, and sponsored affiliates with authorized access.

Organization or group name

• Proposed dates for the collection or display

SPH Facilities will review the request, confirm availability, and coordinate placement as appropriate. All donation boxes, collection boxes, and lobby displays must be approved by SPH Facilities before placement.

Donation and Collection Boxes
To ensure that collection boxes do not interfere with building circulation, accessibility, or other activities:

A maximum of two donation or collection boxes per building may be in place at any given time.
Boxes may only be placed in the approved locations listed below.

Approved Locations

Receiving Packages
All packages must be addressed to the SPH Mailroom rather than to an individual's office or laboratory.

Please use the following delivery information:
University of Michigan School of Public Health
1415 Washington Heights
G667 SPH1 Mailroom
Recipient Name or Lab Name
Ann Arbor, MI 48109

For packages ordered for a laboratory, always use the lab name as the recipient rather than the name of the individual placing the order. This helps ensure that packages can be properly identified and routed to the correct lab.

Package recipients are notified by email when a package is available. Packages may be picked up from the Mailroom at any time.

Departments are responsible for arranging regular pickup of departmental mail.

Shipping Packages
The University of Michigan uses eShipGlobal to manage domestic and international shipments. eShipGlobal can be accessed through MarketSite+ or through the Buying Blue collection in Wolverine Access.

Packages prepared and labeled for carrier pickup may be left on Level G SPH1 on the wood table next to the Tower elevator (Elevator 7), outside the Mailroom.

SPH Posting Policy
All postings, including but not limited to signs, flyers, bulletins, advertisements, announcements, leaflets, brochures, posters, notices, study flyers, and similar materials, may only be placed on designated SPH public bulletin boards.

Designated SPH public bulletin boards are located:

The front of every posting must include the name and email address of the group or individual responsible for the posting.

Postings that do not include the required contact information will be removed.

Only paper postings may be placed on designated SPH public bulletin boards. Postings may not be attached to walls, doors, windows, glass, columns, elevators, restroom surfaces, furniture, or other building elements and will be removed.

To report a posting placed somewhere other than an approved bulletin board, submit a Request Facilities or Maintenance Support form and include the location of the posting.

Postings on SPH public bulletin boards will be removed at the beginning of each month.

Postings may only be removed by the group or individual responsible for the posting, SPH Facilities, or an SPH Facilities designee.

This SPH Posting Policy is in addition to the University of Michigan Guidelines for Posting Flyers, Posters, and Other Related Items on University Property.

This policy does not apply to postings required by federal, state, or local law or ordinance.

Concerns about the content of a posting, including concerns that a posting may violate University policy, may be submitted anonymously by SPH faculty, staff and students through The Heights.

Bulletin boards located in all other areas of SPH buildings belong to individual SPH departments or units and are maintained by those departments or units. The requirements above for SPH public bulletin boards do not apply to department- or unit-managed bulletin boards.

Zero Waste Events
SPH supports Zero Waste events and encourages event organizers to reduce the amount of material sent to landfill through waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and composting. A Zero Waste event aims to avoid or divert at least 90% of the waste typically generated by an event.

Disposable compostable serviceware is available in the Cornely Community Room, 1680 SPH1, and may be checked out at no cost for SPH events. Before checking out compostable supplies, event organizers must complete the brief 10-minute Zero Waste Events training.

Event organizers may request a compost bin when reserving a room with SPH Facilities. For events held in departmental spaces, a temporary compost event box may be requested by submitting a Request Facilities or Maintenance Support form.
