Update to Designated Eating Areas at the RJC

Based on provincial guidance and campus safety measures outlined by McMaster’s Environmental & Occupational Health Support Services (EOHSS), the designated eating areas at the RJC have been evaluated and determined changes can be made while keeping everyone safe.

What you need to know:

• This change is effective Wednesday, November 24 for the balance of the Fall term
• To adhere to McMaster’s COVID safety protocols, the MacCheck digital tool is checked upon entry to the RJC
  • There is a single point of entry to the RJC meaning, all patrons of the designated eating areas have a confirmed digital tool check
• Masks are required in all scenarios when eating and drinking is not occurring
• All other locations throughout the building will maintain physical distancing unless we receive approval

RJC designated eating areas where physical distancing is no longer required:

• Café (capacity: 24)
• Great Hall (capacity: 132)

RJC designated eating areas where physical distancing continues to be required:

• Classroom 249 (capacity: 12)
• Classroom 263 (capacity: 12)
