Improving Your Space: Faster Room Bookings with

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 .

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.

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.

  • 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.
