general questions
How can I protect myself and others at MICE?
MICE believes in using all the tools we have available to us to keep our community healthy, and we appreciate your help! Don’t come if you feel sick; wear an effective mask, and voluntarily test yourself within 48 hours before the event. We’re all a few swabs away from helping to protect others at large indoor events.
What kind of air filtration system does the MICE venue have?
Boston University spaces and classrooms have double filtration, including hospital-grade in-room filters and updated filters in the AC systems in response to the pandemic. However, please be aware that any large-scale indoor event has the risk of virus transmission
Will your masking policy be revised at any point prior to MICE 24?
No. We understand that mask requirements have fallen away for most indoor events. However, it remains an effective tool for keeping our community safe during the cold, flu, and COVID-19 season.
