Make the Most of The Hub: Guidelines
To ensure a positive and productive environment for all users, please observe our simple guidelines:
- Zoned Areas: The Hub is divided into specific zones: a social activity area in the south, a collaborative study area in the center, and a quiet study zone with tutoring services at the east end.
- Electronic Devices: Feel free to use your devices, but please ensure they do not disrupt others. Headphones are recommended for audio.
- Respectful Environment: We ask that you keep noise to a minimum to respect those who are studying or working.
- Food & Drinks: These are allowed in the social zone only. Please help us keep The Hub clean by disposing of your trash properly.
