As a transitional space leading to multiple levels, lecture halls, and departments, the concourse can become quite busy, especially during peak hours. There are many Quiet Spaces that can be used and alternative routes you can take to avoid this.
There are two main entrances to the Hamilton Building, either the O'Reilly-Hamilton entrance or the Watts-Panoz entrance. There are many smaller entrances around the building for specific labs, offices or other facilities,

Most lecture theatres have automated doors and Accessible Seating options available. You can alternatively access the Joly and MacNeill lecture theatres by going through the emergency exits next to the SU shop on the ground floor.
