SPS Lockers: SPS Lockers support the hybrid workforce and function similarly to hotel room safes. Each locker features a simple lock and includes clear instructions posted on the door. Dropping off items for colleagues with different remote schedules is quick, easy, and efficient. Lockers are located throughout all SPS buildings on both the Chicago and Evanston campuses.
Desk and Office Reservations: DeskFlex is the desk and office reservation app that SPS staff and faculty uses to book a workspace for in-office workdays. Learn how to use it below:” Desk Flex Workspace Reservation | SPS Information Technology
