Over the course of May and June 2023, the O&M team will be planning to complete the maintenance required. Washrooms #122 and #124 will not be operational during this period. As washrooms #122 and #124 are undergoing maintenance, an alternate barrier-free washroom within the Agriculture Building is located on level 300, washroom #371. A secondary alternative would be the barrier-free washroom located in 65 Dafoe.
