Space 2435 is available for use free of charge by the University of Michigan community. Events that are collaborative between North Quad and other UM units, and/or focus on technology or international content are prioritized. Prior to the beginning of each semester, advance reservations are only available to North Quad faculty, staff and students. Reservation requests must be made at least five business days before the proposed event. If not previously reserved, Space 2435 is available to all for use on a casual drop-in basis. Space 2435 is a shared space intended for community building. When proposing an event, please keep this intention in mind.
There are two rooms located in the back of Space 2435 that are available for use by North Quad students, faculty and staff. Each room is equipped with a whiteboard, a whiteboard table with built-in connection cables and an LCD monitor.
These rooms cannot be reserved in advance, unless they are a part of an event taking place in the main Space 2435 area. Otherwise, Rooms 2435 A, B, and C are available for use on a first-come, first-served basis. The rooms can be used for up to three hours in length. Room users are expected to throw all trash away and erase the whiteboards upon completion of use. You may be asked to leave the rooms without notice during events.
The two-level Media Gateway supports collaboration and small gatherings in an informal, lounge-style setting. The open areas may be reserved in advance or used on a drop-in basis.
On the first floor (in the basement) of the Media Gateway, there are 4 individual team rooms available for use on a drop-in basis. Each room contains a table and chairs and an LCD monitor. 1150 A and B have white boards and 1150 A and C feature built-in laptop connections and a Media-Scape for group collaboration.
These rooms cannot be reserved in advance, and are available for use on a first-come, first-served basis. The rooms can be used for up to three hours in length. Groups of 3 or more have priority over the Media Gateway team rooms. Groups of 2 or fewer are required to move if a larger group needs to use the space. Room users are expected to throw all trash away and erase the whiteboards upon completion of use.
