Ryerson University Library Collaboratory

Accessing the Library Collaboratory during COVID-19:

The Library Collaboratory will be open to faculty and graduate student members to book research reappointments. The Collaboratory is an interdisciplinary research space equipped with 3D printers, laser cutter, prototyping tools and more. Learn more about Library Collaboratory membership.

The Library Collaboratory is permitting limited and mediated access by appointment, for faculty and graduate student members. Appointments are available from Monday to Thursday, 10AM – 4PM. Appointment lengths may not exceed 2 hours. Submit your request for mediated research appointment at least 2 days in advance. If your request is better suited to a virtual meeting, we will advise you as such, and schedule one with you.

Research appointments are designed to meet the needs of researchers who require access to specific equipment, collections, software or space, and for whom this need cannot be met through online resources and services. If a request is made, which the Library can meet through virtual services, researchers will be directed appropriately. The Collaboratory is permitting limited and mediated access by appointment only, for faculty and graduate student members. * This service is for members of the Library Collaboratory only.

NB: Prior to coming to campus and the Library, the Ryerson Health Screening, available on the RyersonSafe app, must be completed the day of visiting. Confirmation of an approved health status is required upon entering the Library.
