Use of Spaces for Teaching

Overview

We maintain several teaching spaces to support our instructional programs. Priority use of these facilities is for library instructional purposes but, unless otherwise indicated, the computers in these spaces also are available to library patrons whenever session or meetings are not underway.

Overarching room policies

• Software cannot be installed on the instructor’s station. If you have specific software needs, please inquire at the time of booking.
• Priority is reserved for the Library and Student Academic Success Services (in Stauffer and Douglas).
• From time to time, these teaching spaces may be reserved by Queen's faculty for university instruction purposes.
• Staff can book the use of these spaces on their own. External bookings need to be coordinated per the contact information provided with each room. 
• There is no charge for Queens Faculty or Staff special teaching sessions if they begin and end when the library is open.

Queen's faculty, staff or student groups who wish to book spaces for purposes which do not fit within the guidelines are advised to contact the University's Room Reservations Office (ext. 32025) to locate alternate space.
