Booking guidelines

This is a shared service available to all UVic students. In an effort to provide fair opportunities to all, everyone is expected to follow the same guidelines:

• No food or open drink containers allowed
• You have a daily booking limit of 2 hours
• Be prepared to leave at the end of your booking if there's someone after you
• If you can't make your booking, please cancel it to free up the time slot
• Bookings will be held for 15 minutes after the schedule start time
• All rooms must be vacated 10 minutes before the computer lab closes

If you violate these guidelines, your bookings may be cancelled and future booking privileges may be revoked.

Student project rooms

We have three student bookable rooms in BEC 174, BEC 176, and BEC 188. These rooms are great for group work, practicing presentations, and remote interviews.

There are also two student bookable group work tables in Clearihue A025. These tables are great for group work and practicing presentations. They are not separate rooms, so others may be working nearby.

Media studios

The media studios are available for students, faculty, and staff. These spaces do require a brief orientation before booking.

Digital media studio – HSD A154

This is a small studio space with powerful technology for audio and video recording, editing, and live streaming.

Virtual reality studio – BEC 190

The VR studio allows students and instructors to use cutting-edge virtual reality technology in their studies. We've partnered with UVic Virtual, Geography, Greek & Roman Studies, faculties of Education and Fine Arts, and UVic Libraries to offer content and applications.
