Off-Hour and Holidays
Access to the Graduate Center outside of regular building hours is not currently allowed due to limited security coverage.
As part of the access policy, when there is an event in public spaces that attracts large numbers of attendees, event organizers coordinate with Public Safety about reasonable procedures that are accommodative of the needs of the event.
Our access policies are designed to ensure that everyone feels safe and secure while at the Graduate Center. Your full and respectful cooperation with the Public Safety staff responsible for implementing the access policies is essential for achieving these purposes.
