Brandon Hall Update
Via the Daily News
With exams over, many of you are welcoming your students back home for the holidays. It certainly has been an eventful first term!
As we all prepare for the return of Brandon Hall residents to campus beginning Sunday, January 4 we wanted to make sure you were updated on the logistics and procedures to make a smooth transition to the start of the second term.
Prior to leaving their interim hotel accommodation, students received boxes, labels and instructions to pack away any items not needed over the holidays. These boxes have been moved by the University back to residence rooms where they are waiting in residence rooms for the students' return beginning January 4.
Some of you have been wondering about the procedures for move-in on January 4.
We encourage your students 'to beat the rush' by moving in between 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Students living on floors 5, 7, 9 and 11 should plan to move in from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Students living on floors 4, 6, 8 and 10 should plan to move in from 1 p.m. 10 4 p.m.
Students living on floors 1 to 3 may move in any time after 7 a.m.

Heat sensors have been inspected and replaced where necessary and all exit signs have been either cleaned, repaired or replaced. Audible testing of alarms on each floor and in each residence room has been completed, and a complete fire safety and security audit is also being conducted.
