Dormitory Rules

The Eastern Shore Laboratory dormitory is the property of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and, as such, laws and rules that apply to Commonwealth property are applied here. Further, because this is a dormitory, rules of the Accomack Public Health Service and the Fire Marshal will be enforced.
