On-Campus Study Spaces

As our students return to campus, we know that you are looking for safe spaces to study and do your work. The following areas have been designated as study spaces for you to use while on campus - please select your campus below:

Thunder Bay Campus
Orillia Campus

Please take a look at the following options available, along with the hours of operation as some spaces have designated times while others are based on building hours. In addition to these spaces, across both of our beautiful campuses, there are many outdoor locations to enjoy. 

For all locations, hand sanitizer stations are available and furniture has been arranged to ensure physical distancing between others. Masks are to be worn in all indoor public spaces where physical distancing may not be possible.

Important! Prior to attending campus to study, students must complete the Mandatory COVID-19 Training Module accessible through mycourselink.
