The Buildings and Ground committee has received several students and visitors asking about the locations of pay phones on RWC campus. Payphones are currently located in all RWC buildings, with the Muntz building containing one on the 2nd Floor outside Room 200 and on the 3rd Floor opposite Room 332. The SAHB building has a payphone outside Room 155 on the 1st Floor and between the restrooms on the 2nd Floor. Additionally a payphone can be found in the Flory Center. College Relations plans to include this information on the campus website when it is updated.
According to Debbie Miller of College Relations, many in particular were asking why there were no phones on the 1st Floor in the Muntz building. Miller answers that after the renovations to the lobby area Cincinnati Bell did not include new phones due to high costs. The rent paid for the current phones already exceeds the income from patronage, and to reinstall the 1st Floor phones would require the removal of all others on campus.
