- Choosing Your Room
-
When making a room reservation, room availability is determined by various factors, including existing reservations for College events and external groups. Seating numbers are based on various configurations, and are subject to change. A configuration of chairs alone, or straight rows of tables and chairs, seats the highest number of individuals. Table groups and square/rectangle/U-shape configurations reduce numbers accordingly.
