Room Reservation

You Must Complete a Room Reservation

Be respectful of others. If you are unable to use your reservation time, please remove it from the rooms' reservation calendar. Repeated misuse of the reservation system may become a compliance concern.

1. Researchers must reserve time in any DLAR space for the length of time they will be present in the room. Please make sure to use that time appropriately.
2. Some animal rooms may have 2 hoods available for 2 labs to reserve at the same time.
3. Please follow the directions on how to reserve your time in the animal/procedure rooms. How to Schedule a Room Time
4. Do not combine multiple reservations into 1; create a reservation for each area/room.
