November 10 Hall mezzanine barricade and vandalism

November 11, 2026

In the late afternoon of November 10, several individuals arrived at the Hall Building mezzanine and started to move furniture -couches, tables and chairs- to create a barricade.
The individuals were masked and wearing coverings such as hats, scarves and hoodies. They refused to identify themselves making it impossible to know if these were outside individuals or members of our community.
In total, around 50 unknown individuals were present on the mezzanine.
The individuals also started setting up tents, spray-painted graffiti on windows and walls and duct-taped all security cameras on the mezzanine to block them.
Campus Safety and Prevention Services (CSPS) called the SPVM at around 7 pm who did not intervene and only observed the activity on the mezzanine.
An eviction notice was read to the individuals at about 9 pm.
The individuals all left immediately through a fire exit on the mezzanine and one individual, who refused to leave, was escorted out by two SPVM officers.
