How to reserve a room in the SSW building

Room reservations are made on a first-come, first-serve basis by Administrative Services located on the second-floor mailroom. If a reservation already exists for the room and time you specify, alternatives are suggested. Check with Student Services to locate classrooms for meeting use. If you need assistance with media equipment for your reservation contact SSW Tech.

Rental fees will be assessed to non-School groups, other colleges and schools, and outside organizations. Fees will apply to all rental spaces in the SSW building and are listed below.
