The Science Lounge is located on the second floor of Kerr Hall East in KHE 223. The lounge is open to all Faculty of Science students from 7 am - 10 pm Monday to Friday. This space is managed by the VP Operations. If there are any problems with the lounge or any suggestions that you would like to make so we can improve the space, please feel free to email them.

It is a great space to do group work, study, and meet with your peers! The USSTM provides casual seating, group work space and individual work space for you to get all of your work done. Science students require their One Card to enter the lounge.

Since the Science Lounge is meant to be a study space for students, we recommend you try booking other places first and only use the lounge as a backup.
