Conference Rooms - Reserving a Conference Room

This document outlines the process of reserving a conference room in the HF DeLuca Biochemical Sciences Complex via Outlook.

Conference rooms in the Hector F. DeLuca Biochemical Sciences Complex (HF DeLuca Biochemistry Labs, Biochemical Sciences Building, and Biochemistry Building) can be reserved by inviting the room to an Outlook calendar event. Detailed information about the conference rooms in the complex is available on the Room Reservation Intranet page and instructions for each conference room can be found on the Conference Rooms Topic page.

For information regarding inviting a room to a cloud meeting event (e.g. Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, or Google Meet), see Video Conferencing - Adding a Conference Room to a Cloud Meeting.

If this room request is affiliated with a Biochemistry event, such as a symposium, reception, networking event, or poster session, please complete the Biochemistry Event Intake Form.
