Vari Hall Rotunda

The Vari Hall Rotunda may be reserved  for organized activities by eligible users.  Because it is a major pedestrian traffic corridor into and out of the central core of the University and is adjacent to classrooms, the use of the Rotunda is dependent on nature and scope of an event.  Contact the TUUS office for information on using the Rotunda for organized events.

Tables

• Up to 10 information tables are available to be booked on days during the academic term, except when special University events have been scheduled.  Tables are booked through Student Community and Leadership Development at 416-736-5144.

Special Events

• Up to 15 days in each of the Fall and Winter terms will be set aside for special University and student community events (such as information fairs, etc.) to occupy all bookable space in the Rotunda.
• To ensure availability, requests should be made prior to the start of each academic term.

Other
