Facilities FAQ
I’m a GSE student. Can I come into 3700 Walnut to study on the weekends?
GSE students may use the open student spaces throughout the GSE building to study during building hours, which runs from 8am-10pm on weekdays and 10am-4pm on Saturdays. Rooms 100, 125, 200, and 306 are all dedicated study spaces for students to freely use.
Can I get into 3440 Market St. with my PennCard after hours?
No, you may only access the building after 8 p.m. with a Science Center card. If you need to obtain one, please reach out to Tony Delgozzo.
Can organizations unaffiliated with Penn reserve space in GSE buildings?
No, only Penn-affiliated organizations can reserve space in GSE buildings.
If I put in a room request, how long should I expect an answer back?
Due to the high volume of requests, please allow up to 24-48 hours for a response.
I’m locked out of my office. Who do I call?
If you are locked out during working hours, please contact your building representative (see Maintenance and Repairs section). If you are locked out during off-hours and the security guards cannot help you, reach out to the main Penn facilities line, 215-898-7297.
If the temperature is too cold in my office, may I use a space heater?
No. Space heaters present a fire hazard and may blow fuses, so they should not be used in the buildings. Please reach out to facilities for alternative solutions to temperature issues.
