Operations Update

Overview

• HSL’s new Commons / third floor has reopened!
• This is a soft opening — there are still final touches and fixes that need to be made to some of our new tech and smaller rooms. We appreciate your patience as these final items get fixed.
• The new third-floor entrance is open, right after you cross the skybridge over Pacific Ave.
• Users with a valid UW Husky Card can enter HSL through the old third-floor entrance as well as the second-floor entrance (T227) as before.
