It is important to understand that you are submitting a request to use the space, not reserving the space. Be aware that you cannot see if other requests are pending in the queue, as these are not in public view. If a space is not available, you will receive an email to let you know your request is denied. If your request is approved, you will receive a confirmation email and/or Google Calendar invite. The approval process can take up to 2-3 business days. Non-Smalley-Curl Institute requestors may only request to book a room six months out.
Please note that reservations in 300 and 301A may be overridden if the Smalley-Curl Institute needs to utilize the space; you will be contacted in advance if this occurs.
