Important Notice re: G20 Closure of Engineering Buildings
from 6 pm June 23 to morning of June 28

This notice will be of interest to all members of the Engineering community. PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY.

The University of Toronto will be closed from 6 pm Wednesday June 23rd to normal opening time Monday June 28th due to the G20 Summit.

Your regular building access cards and keys will NOT provide access during the closure. Everyone is strongly encouraged to work from home during the closure period. The buildings will be secured and access will be by special permission only.

If you require access during this period in order to continue to engage in your research activity, you must send a written request to the Dean at dean.engineering@ecf.utoronto.ca. Campus security and/or campus Police will only permit you to enter Engineering Buildings if you have been pre-approved for entry by the Dean’s office.

Please note that it may be necessary to shut down the ventilation systems. Please make note of this if your experimental equipment relies on the building’s air intake system and take necessary steps to protect your experiments.

As noted above, the University is encouraging individuals to work from home. Parking will be unavailable on campus and public transportation is likely to experience significant delays. Our location adjacent to the official public protest site may also create some difficult situations on our campus.
