While events are taking place, the Global Room can be a vibrant and noisy space, however the recent installation of soundproofing has helped to dampen the sound. Outside of events, the Global Room provides balanced environment, offering students choice in seating areas that suit their sensory preferences.

The Global Room is conveniently located beside the Academic Registry on the first floor of the Watts Building. Clear signage throughout the Hamilton Building will help direct you.
