Michener Library Classrooms

Michener Library rooms 303 and 335 (collectively, Michener Library classrooms) are NonS25 Specialized Open Labs and are intended primarily for LIB courses and instruction sessions taught by faculty in the Libraries.

Other University faculty and staff may request to use these rooms for instruction any time during the year. Please note that the room is for supplemental use only; it should not be reserved for the exclusive use of semester-long courses or events that occur on a regular basis.

Michener Library classrooms may be available for non-instruction uses including trainings, events, meetings, or presentations by persons/groups affiliated with the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï.

All scheduled events in these rooms must be approved (including those scheduled in 25Live by  non-Libraries campus entities), and reservations made by a non-Libraries campus entity are subject to cancellation. Michener Library classrooms are only available during regular library hours.

If food will be served at an event, this must be arranged through ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Catering; University Libraries cannot assist with food ordering.

Keys to the classrooms are available from the main desk on the first floor of Michener Library for those with an existing reservation to access the room. Keys must be returned at the end of the reservation period.

All questions regarding scheduling Michener Library classrooms must be directed to University Libraries. Please fill out the  form.

The Graff Multipurpose Room is a NonS25 Specialized Open space with movable furniture that can accommodate a variety of event types. Libraries use is prioritized in this space.

Due to the limited amount of staff available for room setup, no more than one non-Libraries event per day will be scheduled in the Graff Multipurpose Room.

Other University faculty and staff may request one-time use of the Graff Multipurpose Room for instruction sessions any time during the year. Please note that the room is for supplemental use only; it should not be reserved for the exclusive use of semester-long courses (including LIB courses) or events that occur on a regular basis.

All scheduled events in the Graff Multipurpose Room must be approved (including those scheduled in 25Live by non-Libraries campus entities), and reservations made by a non-Libraries campus entity are subject to cancellation. The room is only available during regular library hours.

A swipe card for the Graff Multipurpose Room is available from the main desk on the first floor of Michener Library for those with an existing reservation to access the room. The swipe card must be returned at the end of the reservation period. Furniture can be left in place, but the room should be left in the same state of cleanliness in which it was found.
