Goldman Schwartz Studio Access
The studios in Goldman Schwartz are accessible to all students who are registered for a studio class for the current semester. Students should only use the studio where their class takes place. The building is open during normal business hours and students registered in studio classes have swipe access 8am to 11pm every day. If a student swipes in before 11pm, they may remain in the space pass 11pm as long as they are not alone. No student should ever be alone in the building. It is up to the student to coordinate with classmates and friends to ensure they are not alone in the building. There are scheduled studio hours where a monitor will be present in a particular studio. These times are posted throughout Goldman Schwartz.
If a student who is not registered in a studio class during the current semester would like to utilize Goldman Schwartz, they should email Rebecca Strauss (rstrauss@brandeis.edu) to inquire. However, we cannot always accommodate these requests.
