Procedures for high demand periods

When all rooms are checked out, the Information Desk staff take the following measures in the order specified, to free up rooms for use by eligible groups. Freed up study rooms will be checked out to new users. 

•  Identify vacant study rooms exceeding the check-out period of 4 hours. Clear the rooms of all belongings and stow them safely at the Information Services Desk for later retrieval.

• Ask individuals to relinquish their rooms.

• Identify vacant study rooms that have not exceeded the 4-hour limit. Attempt to determine if the room has been vacant for over 1 hour. Clear rooms of all belongings and stow them safely at the Information Desk for later retrieval.

• Ask groups that are in possession of study rooms in excess of 4 hours to relinquish their rooms.

Note: If there is only one person working at the Information Desk, the users who are requesting a study room will be asked to help identify vacant rooms.
