University Libraries Classroom Use Policy

Michener Library Classrooms

Michener Library rooms 303 and 335 (collectively, Michener Library classrooms) are NonS25 Specialized Open Labs and are intended primarily for LIB courses and instruction sessions taught by faculty in the Libraries.

Other University faculty and staff may request to use these rooms for instruction any time during the year. Please note that the room is for supplemental use only; it should not be reserved for the exclusive use of semester-long courses or events that occur on a regular basis.

Michener Library classrooms may be available for non-instruction uses including trainings, events, meetings, or presentations by persons/groups affiliated with the University of Northern Colorado.

All scheduled events in these rooms must be approved (including those scheduled in 25Live by  non-Libraries campus entities), and reservations made by a non-Libraries campus entity are subject to cancellation.  Reservations can be requested 60 days in advance. Michener Library classrooms are only available during regular library hours.

If food will be served at an event, this must be arranged through UNC Catering; University Libraries cannot assist with food ordering.

Keys to the classrooms are available from the main desk on the first floor of Michener Library for those with an existing reservation to access the room. Keys must be returned at the end of the reservation period.

All questions regarding scheduling Michener Library classrooms must be directed to the University Libraries Scheduler. Currently, the scheduler is Natasha Floersch (natasha.floersch@unco.edu, 1-1529).

Please note that the room is for supplemental use only; it should not be reserved for the exclusive use of semester-long courses (including LIB courses) or events that occur on a regular basis.
