Booking Common Rooms

Booking Schedule and Rules

The Recreation Room will be available for booking 7 days a week in the following time slots: 

This schedule allows for enhanced cleaning protocols to take place between each use of the room.

For planned events that will run over one time slot, residents can book two back-to-back timeslots on one day if available. Cleaning will not take place between the two timeslots booked.

Residents can have a maximum of two timeslots booked at any given time. This total resets after a booked timeslot has passed. For example, if you book two back-to-back timeslots on a Monday, on Tuesday you will be able to book two more timeslots again.

Requests for recurring bookings should be made to the Residence Office.

Note: If one of the above timeslots is not listed on the booking calendar, that means the room is unavailable for that time.

Same Day & Weekend Bookings

Bookings made on StarRez must be placed no later than 4:00pm the day before the booking.

For same day bookings of the Recreation Room, residents will need to make them by visiting our Residence Office in person.

Bookings for the weekend (Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday) must be made before 4:00pm on Friday.
