Room Bookings & Pub

Please Note:

UTGSU Space Booking and In-person Operations 
 
Due to the reconfiguration of the UTGSU office, in-person operations are postponed. We are still available to provide support for our members virtually. Please feel free to reach out at info@utgsu.ca. Members will not be able to book student meeting spaces at the UTGSU for the time being. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we navigate reopening. 

_______________________________

The UTGSU building at 16 Bancroft Ave offers free space bookings for members of the Union. These spaces are available for a variety of activities between 10:00 AM and 11:00 PM. Use is restricted to quiet activities from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We also have a pub serving beer, alcohol, spirits, and snacks that has an accessible outdoor patio.

The Pub is located in the UTGSU Building on the first floor. It is a great place your course union or student group to book for a party! For more information or to reserve the space, please call Harry, the Pub Owner, at (416) 978-8466. The pub is open 12-12 Monday to Thursday and 12-1am Friday.

  • No food, drinks (except water), equipment or furniture is allowed in the gym unless approved by the UTGSU.
  • Garbage and recycling must be deposited into the bins.
  • Furniture must be returned to their original positions after your function.
  • You must clean the space after you are done (wipe tables, sweep if necessary).
  • When you are finished you must inform the UTGSU contact person you are leaving.
  • You are responsible for any damage or theft occurring during your function.

Accessibility Issues

  • One accessible entrance at the back of the UTGSU building that leads to the HDI (Health and Dental Insurance Office).
  • Lack of accessible washrooms.
  • No accessible lifts or alternatives to stairs – limiting access to all services except the HDI Office.
  • The gym lacks temperature control.
  • Lack of clear and accessible signage.
  • Narrow corridors, doorways and related spaces pose problems throughout the building.
  • Existing ramp at a less-than-ideal angle and width.
