Room Reservations for Faculty, Staff and Doctoral Students

Please submit requests at least three days in advance to guarantee that reservations are approved on time. In any event, please return furniture to its original layout and leave the room in better condition than you found it (i.e., wipe down tables, throw away trash, wipe and clean whiteboards, etc.).

Cancellations: If your meeting is canceled, please email the front office at swdesk@berkeley.edu to let us know, so others can use the room.

Requesting a Room Using bCal

To request a room, create a new calendar event or add the room to your existing calendar event. Under 'Rooms' on the right hand side of the page, type in 'Haviland' and select the room you would like to request. Room capacity and A/V capability information is listed below, under Haviland Hall Facilities.

Please include a brief explanation of the meeting or event purpose as you would when emailing a request. This information can go in the 'Description' field. You will receive an email notification when the room request is approved or denied. The room has not been reserved until you receive a confirmation email.

Please note that the default visibility of your event depends on what you set as your preference.  This means that it could be public (anyone with a UC Berkeley email address could view the event details). If you do not want your event information to be public, you must change the visibility to private.
