Reservation Instructions
Each room is reservable via scanning a QR code on the wall next to each room, scanning a QR code on digital signs throughout the building, or selecting the button at the end of these instructions.
Step 1
When reserving a room, you will see the grid with the gray and green squares indicating what times are already reserved and what times are available. When creating your reservation, click only one green square. The square will turn orange and will act as the start time of your reservation.
Step 2
After clicking the square, a drop-down menu will appear at the bottom of the page. You will use this menu to set the end-time of your reservation.
Step 3
After selecting the end-time of your reservation, you can complete the rest of the reservation form. This will allow you to just use a single reservation to reserve up to 2 hours total, leaving you with another reservation to be used later in the week.
Step 4
After completing your reservation, you will receive an email with a confirmation link. Please check your email and click the link to confirm your reservation within one hour of completing your reservation or your reservation will be automatically cancelled. Clicking the clink in the email guarantees your room reservation.
