First priority for use of LSSA departmental conference rooms and scholarly activity rooms will be for LSSA departmental events (faculty meetings, special departmental seminar presentations, etc.) As stated above, no courses or classes are allowed in any TLSB conference room or scholarly activity room.
In the event that the department has urgent need of the conference/scholarly activity room, the department may “bump” a scheduled group, and will provide as much prior warning as possible. Any group “bumped” will be responsible for finding an alternate meeting site.
The Terasaki Life Sciences Building Conference Room Guidelines can be revised at any given time and any changes made is up to the requester to be knowledgeable of all notes made in these guidelines.
All requests for 1100 TLSB must be made via the 1100 TLSB reservation request form. If day and times are flexible, please add alternative specific dates and specific time blocks in the notes/comments section or in your email.
Please note that if you require a walk-through of the space, LSSA staff must be notified at least two days in advance.
