For security reasons, not all ChSCC buildings are open to the public. The campus and facilities of ChSCC are governed by the Tennessee Board of Regents (Policy No. 3:02:02:00).

All persons on the campus of the College shall provide adequate identification upon request to appropriate officials and police personnel of the College. Personnel and students of the College who refuse to provide such identification may be subject to disciplinary action; other persons who refuse to provide such identification shall be requested to leave campus, and if they refuse, may be subject to lawful removal and prosecution.

Security considerations used in the maintenance of campus facilities:

Police personnel report all hazardous or unsafe campus conditions found to exist. These conditions may include overgrown trees or landscaping and a lack of outdoor lighting or inoperable lights. These reports are sent directly to each respective department or to central work orders to ensure expeditious corrective measures are taken.

In Plant Operations, the work orders office processes and coordinates all work requests for the campus. They strive to ensure that all buildings and structures are properly maintained to meet fire, safety, health and other required codes and regulations. This includes providing climate controlled, clean, properly supplied facilities, so that faculty, staff and students have comfortable surroundings in which to live, work, and receive training and education. They also serve as a communication link and liaison between facilities services employees and the campus community.

The State Fire Marshal reviews existing campus occupancies and conditions, the design and construction of new buildings, remodeling of existing buildings, and additions to existing buildings to determine the acceptability of technologies, processes, products, facilities, materials

and uses attending the design, operation or use of a building or premises under applicable codes. The State Fire Marshal shall have the authority to require plans and specifications to ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards.
