CSS In-Person lab Policies and Access
Policies
Labs are located in INV (Innovation Hall) 140, 141, 310 and Discovery Hall 362. Lab access is restricted to students taking CSS classes and only granted for the quarter in which a student is enrolled in CSS classes. Note: Undergraduate access to room INV 310 is only granted through the permission of a CSS professor, and graduate student access renews every quarter the student is enrolled.
Students may use the labs during building hours, posted on the building entrances. Building hours differ during summer and quarterly breaks, and close during campus holidays.

Lab hours are based on Innovation Hall building hours.
