Priority

Forfeits

Reservations are held for 15 minutes. If an individual or group does not check-in during that time, the reservation is forfeited. Additionally, the requestor must check-in at the room using the QR code. If the requestor does not check-in, the reservation is canceled after the first 15 minutes.

Vacating

Each room must be vacated at the end of the scheduled time so that the next scheduled group can use it

Changes

The Library reserves the right to change a reservation that conflicts with University or Library sponsored programs. The requestor will be notified.

The person reserving the room is responsible for the room’s cleanliness and group’s behavior.

Simulation Science, Games, and Animation (SSGA) Lab #123

The purpose of the SSGA Lab is to provide laboratory and classroom space for students in the SSGA degree program. Only SSGA students and faculty can use #123, and it is not available to schedule or reserve in SchedulER. 

Worthington Reading Room

  • The Worthington Reading Room is designated as a silent study space for individuals with no talking, no cell phone conversations, and no food.
  • This is the only room in the library with individual lamps placed on the tables and carrels to meet the study need for individual students who prefer less overhead lights.
  • As a general practice, the overhead lights will not be turned on.
  • If the room is already occupied and a new entrant would like the overhead lights on, he/she should show consideration by asking those already occupying the room if it will bother them. If the consensus is for the overhead lights to remain off, the new entrant will follow majority rules and the first to come is the first to be served.

Responsibility
