Maximum Exposure at the SLC
The School of Image Arts’ year-end show, Maximum Exposure, displays the work of over 150 undergraduate Photography and Film students. This year, we are piloting the support of Maximum Exposure at the SLC by providing the student-led team with the opportunity to extend the week-long exhibit. The display in the Ryerson School of Image Arts runs from May 2nd to May 8th. Following that, you can find the exhibit in the SLC on the first, fifth and sixth floors from May 13th to June 4th.
Alternate Work Areas
Beginning Tuesday, May 3rd, Campus Facilities and Sustainability (CF+S) will be conducting required maintenance on the heating and cooling systems in Jorgensen Hall and the Podium. Following this maintenance and as the system is tuned, there may be temperature fluctuations in these areas for approximately one month.
If you are experiencing uncomfortable temperatures in your work area, we encourage you to make use of the workspaces available here in the SLC. Depending on your needs and preference, there are dedicated spaces for individual and collaborative work throughout the building. Find a spot that works for you by checking out Explore the Floors.
