Library Study Rooms and Cubicles in the Summer
In July and August, bookings by RDP students will be prioritized over other bookings. If the space is vacant, it may be used on a first-come, first-served basis.
Study rooms are for use by Red Deer Polytechnic students only, from September through June.
