Subject: Access to campus facilities other than research laboratories

As the University community continues to collectively respond to unprecedented circumstances, I thank you for your ongoing resiliency and dedication to your research and academics.

While requests for access to research laboratories are being accommodated through the online system, I am aware that many of you are keen to access on campus facilities outside of research labs. To facilitate campus access, Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA), the Associate Deans from each Faculty, and the Safety Office have developed a web page that serves as a common starting point for you to request access to campus for academic activities other than lab-related research. I encourage you to review the information, which includes a common set of considerations and criteria that will be used to vet the requests received from you and your supervisor.  

As always, your safety and the safety of our University community remains our top priority. Recognizing our shared responsibility to keep each other safe, the University has created resources to keep all of us safe, including the return to campus safety guide and health and safety details on the COVID-19 information website.  Together, as a campus community, we continue to be Waterloo Warriors, and protect each other.

As always, we are here to support you – if you want to discuss your request, please contact your faculty specific point of contact or send me an email.
