You cannot use the P-Space to play music during Quiet Hours (11pm-7:30am on weekdays and 12am-9am on weekends).

Community Reminders

As a reminder, items should not be stored in the hallways or in the bathrooms. Please make sure that you are removing any boxes, shoes, suitcases, trash bags from the hallways and taking them out to the dumpsters in the courtyard. If items (such as bathmats, shelves, personal hygiene items) are left in bathroom, building care is not able to clean the space. Thank you all for your support in making our community a welcoming and clean environment.  
 
Every night, our RAs complete community walks to engage with our community and ensure safety. Know that they will knock on bathrooms as they complete their walks and enter all bathroom spaces. Please do not be alarmed. All we ask is that you respond when you hear a knock. Our RAs will enter each bathroom to check for safety and security concerns and facilities issues that may need attention.
