On behalf of Facilities Management, we would like to welcome you to Highland Hall. Below are some administrative and contact details on operations of the facility.

Building Hours
The building will be unlocked from 7a.m. – 10p.m. Staff and faculty in the building can have access to the building via card access after hours. Please contact Carvill Lo at carvill.lo@utoronto.ca to have your card access programmed.

Access & Security
There are four entrances into the building. One on the east side (by the bus loop), one on the west side (close to Student Centre and loading dock ramp). Two on the south side, one at level 2 of Bladen underneath the pedestrian ramp and one at ground level via the pedestrian ramp.

Common areas are equipped with security cameras. Please note that if there is electronic security on the door (i.e., card reader or keypad) please do not use a key as this will trip an alarm to Campus Police.
