(Sudbury – 11 January 2018)

In April, the grievance regarding the administration’s failure to provide a faculty lounge was resolved through a Memorandum of Agreement. The administration agreed to provide LUFA members with a new space by January 2018.

We are pleased to announce that the Faculty Lounge will reopen on Monday January 22nd at its new location in Room JD-234, just outside the library, next to the elevator.

Physical Plant has devoted time and resources in renewing the space. It has been freshly painted and a kitchenette was installed. LUFA had requested the possibility of having water access in the space. We were told that this would be difficult given the location of the pipes. However, we were informed today that extraordinary measures were taken to install a sink and tap in the new space. The cold water pipe was included and a small hot water tank was installed under the sink.

Furniture will be transferred to the new space next week. We will distribute the new passcode soon.

Given the new changes in the CA, this space is no longer shared with the administration. It is exclusively for the use of LUFA members.

Thank you to Brad Park , Pierre Fontaine and their team for the great work in setting up the new space.
