What’s open and closed during the holidays

University buildings throughout Brock’s main campus, east campus and satellite locations will be locked and closed during the holidays beginning Friday, Dec. 22 at 10 p.m. They will re-open for regular business hours Tuesday, Jan. 2.

Call Campus Security when entering and leaving a building

Personal safety should be top of mind. Campus Security Services asks that all employees call x3200 with their location when entering and leaving a building. Lab activities should not be conducted alone. Employees should have their Brock identification with them at all times and be able to produce it if asked.

In case of a fire or other serious emergency, call 911. If there’s a fire, pull a fire alarm and immediately leave the building. Call Campus Security Services at x3200 to pinpoint the location and facilitate response.

Building or grounds-related emergency

If a building or grounds-related emergency, such as broken glass, loss of power or flooding, occurs from Dec. 23 to Jan. 1, employees are asked to call Campus Security Services at x3200. Heating setbacks and ventilation reductions will be in effect during the holiday closure.

Facilities Management contractors

If contract work is expected during the holiday closure, email Campus Security Services before Dec. 20 with specified times and dates. Brock University identification or contractor identification must be produced.

Individuals with proxy/swipe access to a building’s exterior doors may enter if authorized to do so during the holiday closure.
