Dear SPARC community,

We want to share a quick update: due to significant heating repairs, the SPARC building will be closed until further notice. We don’t yet have a timeline, but we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

Even though our doors are temporarily closed, SPARC staff remain available on campus and remotely, and we’re here for conversations, support, and connection as always.
