Bike Shelter Secure covered bicycle storage

The TRU Sustainability Office offers an enclosed and secure outdoor bicycle shelter for students, faculty and staff.

Located between the House of Learning and the Multi-Use Annex along Sk'lep Trail Road, the shelter provides protected bicycle storage in a convenient central campus location.

Spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis for registered users and applications are accepted annually each August.

If you do not cycle during the winter months, please notify the Sustainability Office so storage spaces can be made available to other cyclists.

Although the shelter is monitored by nearby security cameras, cyclists are encouraged to use a quality lock and avoid leaving bicycles overnight whenever possible.

Include your TRU ID, name and department (if applicable) when requesting a shelter space.
