Beginning  March 9, you can study at the Killam till 3 a.m. Sundays-Thursdays* and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. These late night hours will be in effect until April 26.

In addition to these late night hours, beginning the weekend of Saturday, March 29, we’ll be extending our opening hours on Saturday and Sunday mornings, opening at 8 a.m. instead of at 10 a.m. The last morning we will open at 8 a.m. on the weekend will be Saturday, April 26.

All Dalhousie & King’s students are welcome, but after midnight you’ll need your DalCard for access.

Students in those areas can move to the Learning Commons or atrium. At midnight, all students in the building will need to swipe their DalCard in a mobile card reader as requested by the commissionaires.

PARKING & SAFETY

To improve safety, the McCain Building Parkade* across from LeMarchant Street will offer FREE parking from midnight until 3 a.m., Sundays through Thursdays, until April 26.

If you’re walking or biking, consider becoming “study buddies” with friends or classmates who live near you, and head home together.

*The McCain Building Parkade is the main parking area for events at the Arts Centre each evening and a fee will be charged if you park there before midnight. After midnight, parking is free of charge until the Learning Commons and atrium closes at 3 a.m.

Good luck with your studies!
