Guidelines for Use

  • Alcohol-Free Zone: No alcohol, drugs, or paraphernalia are permitted.
  • Respect the Space: Maintain an environment that is inclusive, welcoming, and conducive to both connection and study.
  • Shared Responsibility: Clean up after yourself and leave the space ready for the next person or event.
