Room Reservations

The Berkeley Language Center offers a number of classrooms and a computer facility for reservation. Some rooms offer multimedia equipment, such as dedicated computers, region-independent DVD players, video/data projectors for large-screen projection, as well as video-conferencing equipment for distance learning (DL) classes. The computer facility offers the opportunity for instructors to hold classes wherein each student has his/her own workstation. Rooms are listed in the menu at right. Each room’s page has photos and a description of the room as well as the room’s calendar and a form which users may fill out to make a reservation request.

BLC rooms may be requested for any language or language-related class or activity (e.g., film club meetings). Preference will be given to requests that utilize equipment in the rooms that is not available in general assignment classrooms, e.g., video-conferencing equipment for DL classes. Requests for single classes are on a first-come, first-reserved basis. Reservations for rooms for an entire semester may be made at any time, and we are especially eager to accommodate classes that have schedules or curricular needs not handled by a general assignment classroom.

Instructors are responsible for ensuring that BLC rooms are locked after their classes are over and that equipment (e.g., the data projector) has been turned off. Instructors using BLC classrooms on multiple occasions or in off-hours may obtain a key to the classroom.

No food or drink is allowed in classrooms or the computer facility, and instructors are expected to enforce this policy when meeting in BLC rooms.
