Seminar & Conference Rooms

Reserving a Room

Members of the Cornell community may submit a reservation request for Mann Library room 100 or 102 and should do so at least 2 weeks in advance of the event.

Please review the room Details for a complete description and full list of hardware and software before requesting the room. If you need something which is not listed, indicate this when making the room request or else make arrangements with us at least 2 weeks in advance of the event.

Missed the 2 week reservation deadline?

Smaller general purpose Group Meeting/Study rooms are available for 2 hour loan from the Circulation Desk (map it). These are distributed on a first come, first served basis, and cannot be reserved in advance. Availability can be checked from the main  Equipment and Rooms page. A Projector Room  is also available for small groups for practicing/giving presentations, and can be reserved in advance at the Circulation Desk.

You can also check the online list of campus meeting rooms maintained by the registrar. All questions about the rooms on that list should be directed to the registrar, Mann Library is not involved in reserving these rooms.

Room Reservation Policies

Any Cornell Department or affiliated group can reserve rooms, but priority is given to groups from the Colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences and Human Ecology.

Room use is limited to academic activities. Examples: meetings, seminars, lectures, training sessions, and discussion groups. Rooms are not intended for ongoing classes or weekly recurring events.

Reservation requests must be submitted at least 1 week in advance of the event, using the meeting room request form. Requests are subject to review and approval by Mann Library. You will receive an email confirmation from the library once approved.

The library is not responsible for re-configuring rooms. Users may re-arrange furniture as necessary, but rooms must be restored to their original configurations and left clean. Rooms will be checked after each use by Mann staff to confirm compliance.

Serving of food and drink in the rooms is discouraged, but may be pre-approved on a case by case basis.

Report room problems/questions to Circulation Desk (map it) staff.

*Technology support for the video conferencing system is available for events occurring M-F, 8am - 5pm. If your event qualifies and you would like tech support, please indicate it on the meeting room request form.
