THE DSC
The DSC is an academic centre designed to facilitate scholarly activities, including research and teaching. We are governed by the U of A Library's Community Expectations.
We offer collaboration, classroom and studio space to support meetings, events, research, and creativity.
SPACE BOOKING POLICIES
- Access to our collaboration rooms is limited to U of A faculty, graduate students, staff, and researchers only.
- Requests for use of space by U of A Alumni, visiting scholars, community partners, Edmonton-based educational institutions, and members of the public will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
- We reserve the right to decline booking requests that do not fit our booking policies.
- General study room bookings for current U of A students, staff, and faculty that do not meet our guidelines are available at other U of A Library locations with your CCID.
