Access Policy + Space Bookings

All events appear on the calendar. Please check availability before booking.

For all Embroidery Software bookings, please contact the Research Support Technician Genevieve Moisan at tm.support@concordia.ca. Two Cluster members may use the software at a time.

For all Cluster Commons (EV 10.730) bookings, please contact the Cluster Coordinator Casper Sutton-Fosman at textiles.materiality@concordia.ca.

FULL ACCESS POLICY

Access to the T&M Facilities is available on a priority basis. We have established protocols to create the safest working conditions.

Getting access to the T&M facilities involves certain steps:

1) FACULTY MEMBERS

You will have access to the space, but your activity in the T&M labs must be coordinated with the technician, on a priority basis.

Reach out to the Coordinator (Casper) if your access card is not working.

2) STUDENT MEMBERS

1. Make a request to the Coordinator that includes a statement of usage via the Google form available here:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdfwGeL4i6RBYnSufifDAVSYsSl6WogDhlrmAYRpbKDtF7L6Q/viewform?usp=sf_link

The request will be reviewed by the Research Support Technician. Co-directors may be consulted in certain circumstances. The Google form does not guarantee access to the facilities, but it will allow the T&M staff to assess whether the project can be supported at this time.

2. Following approval, reach out to the Coordinator (Morris) if your access card is not working. Your access card will probably need to be updated through Morris and the Milieux staff.

FOR MEMBERS WITH ACCESS (FACULTY AND STUDENTS)

CLUSTER SPACES

We have set up a Google calendar where you can check the availability of the Cluster Commons (EV 10.730) (above). We can now support multiple members in the space at once.

To book this space, please e-mail textiles.materiality@concordia.ca.

The equipment rooms (including the Jacquard, Tajima, Brother Embroidery machine, etc) will be booked by Gen using the Web Checkout system.

Please e-mail Gen at tm.support@concordia.ca to book this equipment.

DROP-INS

We are now able to support drop-ins to the Cluster Commons (EV 10.730). Priority will be given to members who have booked the space, but you are more than welcome to stop by at any point.

Please note that if you have dropped in you should honour prior bookings and leave if another member has booked the cluster commons space.

Note: Please kindly take note that all our spaces are fragrance-free, please be mindful of members who have respiratory conditions such as asthma and allergies to perfumes and other strong scent-based products.

Note: The Embroidery Software is available remotely, so all registered students and faculty have access (using the Concordia VPN). Two members may book the software at a time. If you would like to book this software, please e-mail Gen at tm.support@concordia.ca.
