Students living on Center reside in either a male or
female dormitory or in the honor dormitory.
The honor dormitory’s living areas are separated into female and male wings.
Male and female students are not permitted cohabiting visitation privileges
in the opposite sexes’ rooms. However, they may visit with each other in
other areas of the campus. Students are expected to clean personal sections
of their rooms and common areas of those rooms daily. Rooms are neat, clean,
attractive, comfortable and well maintained. Each student is provided with a
secure locking closet and lock. Furnishings are new and attractive and in
good repair - these dormitories are some of the newest dormitories in Job
Corps educational system built in 1995. Pictures and posters hanging in each
room and common living lounge areas are tasteful and decorous. The decor’s
theme is Native American vintage in both the exteriors and interiors of the
dormitories.
Furnishings in dormitory rooms include beds, personal lockers, two chairs
and dressers. A reading light is located above each bed and above each desk.
Window curtains and decorations are coordinated to provide pleasing room
environments.
Each dorm includes a main lobby area with smaller lobbies located within
each pod or area. The individual lobbies are furnished with sofas, chairs,
round tables, TV’s, VCRS, and microwave ovens. Sofa, tables and chairs are
available in each individual dorm area for student use. Each dorm also has
three pay phones and each main lobby has two phones for incoming calls only.
Laundry facilities are available in each dorm.
The Honor dorm students female and male are housed in the same building. The
male and female living areas are separated by a common area main lobby.
Sofas, lounge chairs, a large screen TV and VCR are available. Adjacent to
the lobby is a small kitchen with a refrigerator, cabinets, storage spaces
and a microwave oven. Refrigerators and color TV’s are provided for each
individual student’s room. The Honor dorm students are self-governing.
Staff and students are highly involved in maintaining the facilities and
they are aesthetically appealing. A sense of pride and ownership develops
among the students along with a sense of respect for where they live.
The emotional environment of the dorms leave students feeling safe and
secure. Students stay and learn when they feel safe. Inappropriate behavior
is dealt with in a timely manner. Staff use a positive tone of voice and
exhibit a positive attitude. Students are encouraged to provide input, and
open communication exists between staff and students. Staff provide
encouragement and support to the students and catch them doing “something
right” instead of only “something wrong.”
