Looking for an available location for an event

The Campus Calendar allows on-campus event planners to view individual locations and events reserved in them. Please note that a location that appears to be available at a certain time may not be available; buildings and services have policies concerning when events can be scheduled, and there may be previous requests for that location that have not yet been processed. However, using the Campus Calendar is a good first step in planning an event and determining your location preferences. In addition to helping you narrow down available locations, you can see what other events will be taking place at the same time and in nearby locations, helping avoid audience, sound, and parking conflicts.

Some events require a setup and takedown time. This additional time is not reflected in most views of the calendar, however if you choose a Location by Date category and view by list, the list will include setup and takedown times. To see only the time of the event itself, click the event name to view its detail.

To search by location:

  1. Click Locations on the Campus Calendar header and wait for the page to update.
  2. Choose a location by one of the following methods to see a weekly schedule for that location:

    - If you want to check the availability of a particular location, click By Name.

    - If you want to search for locations in a category or building before checking a particular location, click By Date, wait for the page to update then locate the category names on the blue bar on the right and click the category of room you need. Wait for the page to update and choose a location from the table by clicking the small calendar icon to the right of its name .
  3. Choose a week from the calendar on the blue bar on the right.
  4. If you would like to compare availability of this location for several successive weeks, click the button for the number of weeks on the blue bar on the right.

Event schedulers can assist you with selecting a location for your event: Event registration criteria and access to request forms.
