CBE community member room reservations
Room reservation prioritization
CBE classrooms and seminar spaces prioritize quarterly academic classes and other instructional needs. Rooms are released to community members in the lead up to each quarter based on the following use priority.
- Quarterly academic classes
- Academic mid-term reviews and finals
- Academic break-out sessions and other curriculum activities
- Department activities (information sessions, lectures, meetings, etc.)
- CBE student group activities (AIAS, NOMAS, UWASLA, affinity groups, etc.)
- CBE student individual or group meetings (e.g. study sessions)
Reservations are submitted as “requests” only. Your status will change to “confirmed” upon review. The room is held in request status while the reservation is being reviewed so another reservation won’t override the request. If you are making a reservation request on behalf of another CBE community member list their email address as the “primary contact” so they receive future email correspondence around the reservation.
CBE community members interested in using space for non-CBE related activities are considered non-CBE community events

Quarterly room reservations
Quarterly instruction reservations are submitted by departmental chairs or their designated room scheduler in accordance with the UW Time Construction Calendar.

- Graduate core classes that
- Meet multiple days of the week (in order) MTWThF, MTWTh, MWF or TTh (does not include class sections) and
- 2-Hour classes beginning on the half hour or 1.5-hour classes meeting on the :30 or :00 and
- Curriculum that meets the features of the room (e.g., software classes requiring laptops have priority for Gould 114)
- Enrollment limits that fit the size of available rooms
- Undergraduate core classes that
- Meet multiple days of the week (in order) MTWThF, MTWTh, MWF or TTh (does not include class sections) and
- 2-Hour classes beginning on the half hour or 1.5-hour classes meeting on the :30 or :00 and

University Forms Required in UW Facilities
An Alcohol Service Request is required when an individual and/or organization intends to serve or sell alcohol in a UW facility. This is required for any campus room including studios.
The type of Alcohol Permit or License required will be determined by the information provided by the applicant via the Alcohol Service Request. Events with alcohol service will require either a WA state issued Banquet Permit or a Special Occasion License. Alternately, the applicant may need to present the UUFC with a Caterer’s Business License with Liquor Endorsement when a Caterer is involved.
Note that the permit/license only permits the consumption of alcohol within the location noted on the form. To ensure a superior learning environment, CBE does not allow alcohol to be served in CBE classrooms.
