  4. Bookings can be made up to a week in advance.
  5. New booking dates are added at 10 am.

Room Use Guidelines

  1. Maximum capacity limits:
    • LIB202A, 202B, and 202C: 4 people
    • LIB303 – LIB310: 8 people
  2. Attempts to monopolize rooms will be considered a breach of the Building Use Guidelines. The library reserves the right to cancel bookings and/or suspend booking privileges. It is the intent of the system to limit the length of each group’s booking:
    • LIB202A, 202B and 202C: 3 hours/day
    • LIB303 – LIB310: 4 hours/day
  3. Bookings may be forfeited for rooms occupied by fewer than the required number of persons to book the room.
  4. If a room is vacant 15 minutes after the booking start time, the group’s entire booking is void and the room is free for use until the next group’s reservation.
  5. Please do not try to reposition any equipment (projector, smart board etc.) and please do not unplug or remove any preexisting cords or cables.
  6. Students using the rooms are responsible for any damage that may occur.
  7. Campus ID is required for the loan of equipment from the Service Desk.
  8. Please be mindful of noise levels as the space is not sound proof.
  9. The group study rooms are intended for “organized” groups. Individuals should not join a group/booking unless they have a prior affiliation with the original owner of the booking. If unaffiliated, these individuals can be asked to leave the room.
