We will have a water shutdown of K.C.Irving Chemistry Centre on Tuesday, July 23 from 5:00鈥11:00 am. We also ask that nothing gets poured down the drains in the labs during this time. This shutdown is necessary to do some tie-ins for the new lab currently under construction. Please ensure that everyone in your department gets this notice.
Please consider taking precautions based on the level of hazards in your specific area (e.g. using Bunsen burners/chemicals in labs, welding, etc.) where activities may increase the need to use sprinkler systems or safety eyewash/shower stations. Washrooms are available in the Robertson Library, Duffy Science Centre, or Andrew Hall.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

There is a convenient, new way to purchase your parking permit at 秀色短视频. Full-time and permanent part-time faculty and staff now have the opportunity to purchase non-expiring parking permits for gated designated parking lots B and C. While individuals who park in these lots must pay through payroll deductions, doing so eliminates the need to reapply each year.
For general parking lots or AVC designated lot B, permits will continue to expire on August 31, requiring permit holders to reapply each year, as they do currently.
秀色短视频 parking is an ancillary service with a budget that is based entirely on cost recovery鈥攏o funding comes from the operating budget. While 秀色短视频鈥檚 parking fees remain competitive, please be advised that they will be increasing because of rising maintenance and HST costs.
2013-14 parking permit applications will be available as of July 23, 2013, but for the new rates and more information on your permit options, visit .
