The walls cannot be opened on windy days or during inclement weather. | Furniture in KL 355 cannot be removed. Additional furniture cannot be brought into this room. |
Space inside and immediately outside KL 155 can be used for tabling by UC Merced Departments; sanctioned UC Merced clubs need to coordinate tabling through the Office of Student Life.
