September 2021 VentureLabs Facilities Update
Following the SFU return to campus plan, we continue to enforce layers of protection to keep our companies, partners, and staff safe. This includes limiting the office space capacity, wearing masks indoors, and sanitizing shared surfaces.
For member companies who wish to return to the co-working space and for partners who need meeting room access, please contact our client services team. Please note that we’re following SFU guidelines and onsite plans may change.
Proof of vaccination using the BC Vaccine Card is required to access certain non-essential activities, events, and businesses at SFU. This includes SFU VentureLabs’ office space on the 11th and 12th floors. Effective Monday, September 20, 2021, anyone aged 12 and older must provide proof of vaccination via their BC Vaccine Card to Member Services on the 12th floor when they come onsite.
