Access to the downtown campus is dictated by the circulation protocol.

As in previous years, the downtown campus will be closed from 11:00 p.m. on December 24 to 11:00 p.m. on December 25, 2022.

  • If access to the building is controlled by a key, Security Services should be provided with a list of all individuals with silent hour privileges.

Important
