Reserving TDAI space

To request a reservation, click here. A TDAI faculty affiliate or staff member must be the person to make the initial space request. Rental information for users not affiliated with TDAI can be found here.

Once the request is confirmed, the affiliate or staff making the request may name a delegate to manage planning and scheduling changes on their behalf. All email communications about the reservation must cc the organizing affiliate or staff member. Also at that time, the TDAI Events & Space Coordinator will add the reservation to the university’s space calendar in Outlook.

• Users should only use Outlook invitations to the space when a Skype meeting is planned and only after the reservation is confirmed.
• If technical assistance is needed for Skype meetings, please let the Events & Space Coordinator know so that OCIO event and meeting support can be scheduled. Also, please report any technical issues with Skype meetings to the Events & Space Coordinator so that they can be addressed by OCIO.

Any reserved space left unoccupied for 30 minutes past the reservation time is made available for use by others.
