Introducing Quiet Hours in the Hub.

Quiet hours offer a calmer space by reducing noise and light.

Our new quiet hours in the Hub will begin this week, on 29th November and continue every Friday between 2pm and 4pm. 

Eden Cafe will lower the volume of background music, OPSA will reduce the lighting, and we ask everyone to be mindful of keeping the noise down during this time. 

This wonderful initiative was suggested by a student who wants to make sure that the Hub is a welcoming and inclusive space. A regular, reliable low sensory time particularly benefits our neurodiverse community and others with sensory sensitivities, and means you can count on Friday afternoons to have a chill vibe if you need to study or take a break. 

We also offer a low sensory room in G Block, Room 313, for anyone who needs a quiet retreat. 

We also maintain a list of places that offer quiet hours around Dunedin. You can check it out here.
