Meeting Rooms and Collegial Space: Scheduling

The Northwest Building meeting rooms and collegial areas are considered Northwest community space and are available for use by all Northwest Building occupants.  Collegial spaces are public areas that are open to the interior corridors of the building.  Northwest occupants may schedule a meeting room or collegial space through FAS RoomBook. Northwest template RoomBook accounts are available to Northwest Building faculty, administrators and staff. Contact Northwest Building Operations Coordinator to request a Northwest template RoomBook account or to book a meeting room.

Meeting Rooms and Collegial Space: Use

Northwest upper floor, 25-seat or larger meeting rooms are not available for ongoing classes weekdays between 9am-4pm. Instructors seeking to teach at Northwest should request B100-B129 through the FAS Classrooms Office. 

Each meeting room is equipped with audio/visual technology compatible with most portable devices. Instructions for use are posted within each room. This equipment is managed, maintained and supported by Education Support Services, 495-5775.

After your meeting, please be sure to leave the room in good condition for the next group. If you bring anything into the room (food, beverages, catering supplies, papers, extra tables, folding chairs, etc.), you must remove them from the room at the end of your meeting. If you serve food at your event, please wipe down the tables after use. While you are welcome to move the tables and chairs around to suit your group, please return them to their original positions at the end of your event. If you need custodial assistance for cleaning or furniture rearrangement, please contact Building Operations at 496-6505 or submit a request through PRESTO at least 24 hours prior to your meeting. You may also request additional furniture and rearrangement when you request a room through RoomBook.

Please do not borrow tables or chairs from other meeting rooms.
