Record number of students to move into the college's eight residences this weekend.
A record number of Brock University students will move into the school's eight residences this long weekend.
Over 2,600 students will be welcomed on Saturday and Sunday for the largest Move-in Weekend the University has seen.
"This will be our biggest move-in ever at Brock," says Cindy Chernish, Interim Director, Residences. "With the addition of Residence 8, DeCew Residence being open to capacity following its major renewal and all of our buildings operating at near capacity, we’re excited to welcome a record number of students to live on campus beginning this weekend."
In January, the school opened Residence 8, which has 308 beds and a semi-suite style residence building.
This increased the University's total residence capacity to about 2,800 beds throughout all eight of the housing complexes on the main campus.
DeCew Residence also underwent extensive renovations last year.
Members of the Brock community will line up along roadways leading to residence buildings to greet the new students and provide directions to their new home.
Each student and their family will be given a one-hour window of move-in time between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Parking and access around Brock's main campus this weekend will be limited, and anyone visiting the University for other reasons are asked to park in Zone 1.
Brock students will be required to wear medical grade masks in all instructional spaces when school starts
