The OCC is excited to announce we'll be starting Lounge Hours!

Everything Thursday from 12:00 - 2:30 PM you can drop into the OCC Lounge! We have games, a sink and microwave, and lots of places to sit - whether you want to work in a quiet space or relax.

Our Lounge is in the Queen's Centre on the 3rd floor, in room 616. If you need help finding your way, keep an eye out today for our 'How to Get to the Lounge' video!

We can't wait to see you there!
