Guidelines:

Priority for booking the Flex Lab goes to faculty needing to use the room for teaching and learning. The Flex Lab is not intended to be used as a replacement for regular classroom scheduling.
Staff may book the room for events outside of typical teaching hours.
The Flex Lab furnishings are mobile, this means that one should expect that the room will be in a state different than one might want upon arrival. Let students know how you want the tables and chairs arranged for that session.
The Lab comes with four moveable whiteboards, two screens, and a smartboard. There is also a wireless projector in the room. (Instructors will need to bring their own laptop to connect. There is a remote for the projector that needs to be retrieved from the Learning Commons’ service desk.)
Food is currently allowed in the room, but it is expected that people will clean and remove trash before leaving.
