• The Student Union and Aramark custodial staff will do our best to frequently sanitize surfaces in the building.
• As always, racism or xenophobia are not consistent with the values of the Student Union and will not be tolerated.  “Mask shaming” or other similar acts are not conducive to our values and will be followed up with.
• The Information Desk is open for service, but the Game Room will be closed until further notice. The enclosed 227 and 228 student lounges will reopen in a limited capacity beginning 8/24/20 with social distancing in effect.

• Events are extremely limited.  At the time of this update, meetings of 50 or more are not allowed in-person and virtual meetings are still the preferred method.  For our meetings held in the facility, Student Union & Event Services’ staff will sanitize furnishings and equipment between meetings.  No gathering for meetings in hallways should take place.
  • It is the event sponsor’s responsibility for UNLV events to enforce COVID-19 safety protocols and social distancing.
• "Phase 3" reopening will take place at a future date when UNLV and the state of Nevada indicates it is safe to do so.

We encourage everyone to follow CDC and governmental guidelines regarding safety and health. For more information about the UNLV response, please visit the main UNLV Coronavirus page.
