Staff can make bookings online using the self-service room bookings. Alternatively, they may email the Room Booking Officer at rooms@reading.ac.uk.

Improving Your Space: Faster Room Bookings with CMISGo

As our University community grows, we are focused on providing a sustainable, efficient service. To ensure we can support your needs effectively, we are encouraging a "Self-Service First" approach for straightforward bookings.

Last year, our Room Booking Officer processed over 6,000 ad-hoc requests. Nearly half of these were "FAST" bookings—requests that could have been completed instantly by the user via CMISGo.

As such, if you email a request to rooms@reading.ac.uk that may reasonably be completed using CMISGo, you may be directed to do so. For more complex bookings, or if you can't locate a space after checking the system, our team is always here to help.

Standard guidelines 

Please take a moment to read the following standard guidelines regarding the use of central rooms. These are in addition to the Room Booking rules, posted on the right of this page. 

• All rooms should be vacated 10 minutes before the end of the booking to allow for the changeover period.
• Weekend/evening/vacation bookings will be subject to the booking being approved by the relevant parties in Estates.
• Catering can be ordered on ext. 8427 or by contacting eat.bookings@reading.ac.uk. Food is not allowed in any lecture theatres, PC rooms or the Library. You should check that it is appropriate to do so before ordering catering for another room.
• Additional AV equipment, including equipment to enable hybrid meetings in rooms without that technology, may be hired from dts@reading.ac.uk.
• Commercial bookings must be made via Venue Reading.
• Some bookings may require additional permissions or authorisation from the Events Team or Estates. The Timetabling & Room Booking Team are not responsible for making these checks on your behalf.
