Welcome to the Games Room!
The Games Collection and Room at Fraser Library (SFU Surrey) are here to support teaching, learning, and research by SFU faculty, staff and students. Beyond academic life, though, these games are here for the broader well-being of the SFU community, providing opportunities for social connection and engagement.
In order to ensure a pleasant environment and to respect the rights of all members of the campus community, we ask all users of the Games Room to respect our Code of Conduct.
Current SFU student, faculty and staff may borrow console games and board games for 21 days. Visit our Loan periods for games and consoles page for more details.
