This email notice must be received prior to Dec. 18 by 4 p.m. and must specify times and dates of the visits. Brock University ID must be produced on the day of the visit.

In the event of a building or grounds-related emergency during the period of Dec. 24 to Jan. 1 (inclusive), please call Campus Security Services at x3200 which, in turn, will inform the applicable Facilities Management staff that can best address the situation. Heating setbacks will be in effect when the University is closed.
