ACOR provides hostel rooms to scholars and students who visit and work in Jordan. These are usually double rooms and roommates are likely during popular times of the year. Most rooms have showers and bathrooms and there are three apartments for families. Usually one desk is included in each hostel room. Rooms are austerely furnished and space is at a premium. Telephones in each room only have local Amman access. The room rate includes half board. There is a self-serve breakfast, formal lunch served at 2:00 pm daily, and self-serve dinner (leftovers). The ACOR facility is a relaxed and scholarly setting. There are many common areas within the facility: the main kitchen, dining area, library, upstairs kitchenettes, lounges, etc., and this requires some compromise among the lifestyles of the residents to maintain the quality of life.
Residents are required to clean all areas as they utilize them and to help maintain the facilities to the highest standards. The houskeeping staff is limited and cannot clean these common areas daily. There are few rules, but see the FAQ “ Welcome to ACOR ” for guidance on common space use. ACOR residents who bring their own laptop computers and handheld devices benefit from high speed wireless internet service throughout the building. In addition there is a 12 station computer laboratory adjoining the lower library where residents can access internet, use standard software packages for data, image and word processing and analysis. Scholars and fellows at ACOR can use private research offices and can rent workrooms to facilitate activities, such as cataloguing archeological remains or holding regular small meetings that require space, quiet and security for a small team to work. Field research projects are supported with excavation equipment, surveying equipment, and storage facilities (pending availability). |
