Room bookings

How to find and book a room on campus.

Some spaces on campus can be booked on an ad-hoc basis. All bookings must follow the University’s room booking terms and conditions.

Room availability and facilities

Before you make a booking you can check room availability using MyTimetable. Information about room facilities, including photos, are provided in the room information pages.

Food and drink

Eating and drinking isn't allowed in some rooms, or can only take place at certain times. These are listed in the room booking terms and conditions.

Staff can book internal catering through Food Direct.

Student bookings

Study spaces

Individual and group study spaces can be booked using LibCal. For more information, read the guide to where you can study on campus and in the city.

Teaching rooms can only be booked for a student society or group activity (see below).

Student societies and groups

Only official student groups and societies - either Students' Union (SU) groups, or those sponsored by a department - can book a room. Bookings must be made by the Chair, Secretary or Treasurer.

  • Approved student groups can book rooms using Bath Online Room Request System (BORRS). If you can't book a room in BORRS, or are planning a large event, you can email Timetabling to discuss your requirements.
  • Timetabling keeps a list of approved groups. If you are unsure whether your group can book rooms, or you wish to add a group to the list, email Timetabling.

Your group must follow the rules in room booking terms and conditions. This includes information about permitted food and drink, respecting nearby occupants, and using the appropriate space for your activity.

Staff bookings

All teaching activities must be scheduled directly in a student’s personal timetable. Email Timetabling to discuss your requirements.

Meetings and internal events

Book a room using Bath Online Room Request System (BORRS). If the room you require is not listed, follow the guide for spaces that can't be booked using BORRS.

External events

External events, and those held outside of teaching weeks, may need to be arranged using Conferences and Events. You must separately book AV Technical Event support.

Spaces that can't be booked online

Some spaces, including computer labs, foyers and University Hall can’t be booked directly in BORRS.

Computer rooms or labs

Make a request using the computer room booking form.

All other spaces

Email Timetabling with your requirements. Please tell us the type of room you are looking for, your preferred date and time, number of occupants and the purpose of your booking (e.g. a meeting or external event).
