On campus, you will find contemplation rooms at various locations. These rooms are open to students, staff and visitors who need a moment of reflection, meditation or prayer.
You can go there without a reservation. The space is not exclusively for use by one person; it happens that several people use the space at the same time.
To ensure a quiet and respectful environment for everyone, we ask that you keep in mind the guidelines below:
- Respect each other: everyone is welcome to use the space for reflection. Be considerate of each other's needs and beliefs.
- Limit noise: make sure others can concentrate and reflect in peace.
- Short-term use: spaces are intended for short-term use so that as many people as possible can benefit from them.
- Leave the space tidy: leave the space as you found it, so that others can enjoy using it as well.
