Reserving media center facilities

HHS staff are encouraged to reserve the many spaces of the media center for classroom and small-group use.  The procedures for reserving our various spaces can be found here:

  • Main floor
    • If you would like to reserve the entire media center for a major event (closing the doors to normal activity), you will want to register the request in FMX.  Please also consult with the media center staff for planning purposes.
    • If you want to bring a class to the media center or otherwise use the main floor while also keeping the facility open to regular activity, please register the request on Google Calendar using these instructions.
  • Instructional Space
    • Please use Google Calendar to reserve the large classroom in the media center.
  • Digital Den
    • Please use Google Calendar to reserve the multimedia Mac lab with green screen.
  • Collaboration Station
    • Consult with media center staff to reserve the small room with two collaborative tables and HD televisions for device displays.
  • Small Group Study
    • Consult with media center staff to reserve the small study room with couches and dry-erase walls.
