Library Study Space (both lower and upper floors)

We enforce the study space policies to ensure that our community members can work in a safe and productive environment and so that we can provide as much access to study space as possible to  accommodate the maximum number of students .

Policies:

  1. Rearranging of furniture is not permitted especially in the lounge area, e.g. to create a couch to nap on or to conduct group work
  2. Students should refrain from sitting on the floor at the Bronfman Business Library.  The library resides in a professional school and we are obliged to maintain and uphold a professional image.
  3. Students are expected not to plug computers into wall sockets to avoid creating a tripping hazard. This is out of concern for the safety of all in the Bonfman Business Library
