Our Resources

Kitchenette

Keep your lunch cold or heat it up in our kitchenette! For day-use, we have a fridge, microwaves, hot water dispenser and toaster!

 

Day Use Lockers

Store your heavy books and backpack in our lockers. Space is big enough to fit a bike helmet or motorcycle helmet. Lockers are day-use check out only and are offered on a first-come first-served basis, but commuter and transfer students have priority. HUB offers long-term locker rentals.

Changing Room & Lactation Station

This private room has a chair, table, mini-fridge, soft lighting, a hand-washing station, and power adapters. The station provides a clean and private alternative to using a bathroom or other public space. Use of this space is possible on days when the CTC is closed — check in with the HUB front desk for access.
