Places to Check Out

Health Sciences Library (HSL) is located on the second floor of Health Science Centre (HSC) and is commonly a BHSc favourite. There are many rooms available to be booked and there are comfy sofas and tables in the Reading Pavilion, which is separated from the rest of the library through a bougie glass window. Meeting rooms can be reserved through the online HSL Study Room Manager. All BHSc students have the luxury to book study rooms a week in advance.

 

Baywest Cafe (AKA the Hospital Cafeteria) is located underneath the McMaster’s Children Hospital and is connected to first floor HSC. Great food, great service, and great environment (especially for group meetings when HSL study rooms are full).

 

Mills Library consists of six floors and it can get quite busy during exams. Silent study areas are located on upper floors (the most silent being the 6th floor), meeting rooms on the third floor, and the Learning Commons on the second floor and is open 24/7 during exam season. They have great services, like the Lyon Media Centre (where you can borrow photography and film equipment) and a variety of studios (music, photo, etc).
