Study spaces

Some study spaces are available in academic buildings, and will be marked with signage. For your safety, please observe physical distancing and sit only in designated seating.

Beginning September 8, a limited number of study carrels will be available by appointment at the Davis Centre Library.

For everyone’s safety, you must observe the following rules when using the study spaces:

• Wear a face covering at all times.
• Sit only in designated seating.
• Maintain 2 metres distance from others at all times.

These rules apply to everyone using the space, even if you are studying with roommates or anyone in your “social bubble.” Anyone not following these rules may be asked to leave.

Employee access to buildings

If you are approved to return to work on campus by your department or faculty, discuss building access with your manager.

Researchers who have requested continuation of on-campus lab activities will be given instructions for accessing campus when their requests have been approved.

See the guidelines for building access for more information.
