From the U-M Campus Maize & Blueprint: “Effective March 14, 2022, masking will be optional in most indoor spaces on campus, including in offices, residence halls and at athletic events. Masks will remain required in classrooms and other instructional spaces (during class times), patient care areas, campus buses and in campus COVID-19 testing sites at least through the end of the winter term.”
What does this mean for users of the Duderstadt Center?
- Most areas, including open spaces, library seating, open computing workstations, and study spaces, will no longer require masking.
- Spaces being used for classroom instruction will require masking during class times.
- Some DC spaces permit walk-in use but may also include concurrent classroom instruction. For example, you may be working on a personal project in a lab or studio at a time when a formal class session begins. Course attendees and others in the same space should be masked.
- Signage will be posted at the entrances to specific DC spaces that may require masking, with instructions on when masks could be required for use of the space. Please note these areas and respect the requests of instructors and/or DC staff to mask where appropriate under the new U-M mask policy.

Some DC partner organizations may have their own policies. You will find a list of them here:
