Smoking ban extends to new areas
Fanshawe College is making
changes to designated smoking areas
on campus following January’s
ban on smoking on patios, playgrounds
and public sporting areas.
In the coming weeks, smokers on campus will no longer be allowed to smoke on the patio at The Out Back Shack and the Student Union Building/F-building/D-building courtyard. The designated smoking area outside of J-building will also be eliminated in anticipation of the expansion of the health and wellness facilities on campus.
The G-courtyard designated smoking area will increase in size in anticipation of the increase of smokers from the closure of The Out Back Shack patio and Student Union Building/F-building/Dbuilding courtyard designated smoking areas.
The designated smoking area between B-building and D-building will be amalgamated with the existing designated smoking area at Colvin Court/A-building, located 100 yards to the east.
The Apprentice Drive designated smoking area between B-building and T-building will be moved 150 yards to the east in order to accommodate people walking from one building to the other.
Finally, Fanshawe introduced a new designated smoking area by Y-building.
Gary Deline, operation manager at the OBS, told Interrobang back in November when the ban was first announced that it will take time to adjust to the new regulations. He said he anticipates that students will want to drink and smoke on the OBS’s patio.
Fanshawe last changed its designed smoking areas in 2011, according to Ivan Walker, senior manager of Facilities Operations and Sustainability at the college.
