THIS WEEK'S ANNOUNCEMENT

CENTER POLICY CHANGES

In preparation for your return, we have shifted our policies to help keep us all safe. Please take a moment to review the changes below, and please share with members of our MEC Community.

1. FOOD AND DRINKS: Food and drinks are not allowed within the Center to maintain proper masking. Please consume all food and beverages in the appropriate dining facilities. 

2. AFTER-HOURS ACCESS: Access to the lounge after hours is paused until further notice. The lounge will close beginning at 5:00 PM (no weekend hours). 

3. SEATING CAPACITY: Seating capacity within the lounge has been decreased to accommodate proper distancing. However, we have increased the number of available seating spaces throughout the Center. 

4. MASKS: Masks are required at all times within Alumni Hall.
We will reevaluate these policies at the beginning of February and adjust accordingly.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Dustin Pickett at dpickett1@udayton.edu
