• Only CAMD Faculty & Staff are able to reserve space at the Center for Design. Students are not able to reserve the space at this time.
  • However, if you are collaborating with a member of the CfD and are from another college, reach out to us at [email protected]
• Acceptable reasons for use:
  • Working/meeting with a CfD core faculty or affiliate member, fellow, staff, researcher, or on a CfD-related project
  • Class critiques and reviews with external guests
  • Classes working with core or affiliate faculty members on research projects clearly aligned with CfD research directions or with CfD partners/stakeholders
  • A final exam/review in the form of a public exhibition
  • Workshops, brainstorming sessions or studio activities that require multiple groups working in separate areas that are not otherwise possible in registrar-granted classroom space (moveable whiteboards and pin-up boards can double as space partitioners)
  • Design-oriented installations, exhibitions, and showcases meant to engage a broader audience
  • Events/activities/conversations/panels with external guests and partners
  • Research-oriented networking events and activities
  • CAMD-sponsored events and book launches
• CfD Faculty and Staff may reserve on behalf of CfD Student Research Assistants.
• Please cancel as soon as possible if you know you will no longer need the space, as on-campus space is in high demand.
• When reserving CfD Space, please include the following:
  1. Set up and clean up time in the total time of the reservation.
  2. What the reservation is for.
  3. The number of people who will be in attendance.
  4. If your reservation is for a class critique, please include the name(s) of outside guest(s) that will be joining.
Failure to include all relevant information will result in a rejected booking.
• Recurring appointments are not permitted for non-CfD faculty.

• Space Cleaning:
  • Leave the tables clean and throw away any garbage.
  • If your work leaves the table dirty, please use the sanitary wipes provided by CAMD to clean it.
  • If your reservation is for a larger event and/or there is food involved, please submit a work request to clean the space immediately following use.
• Space Arrangement:
  • The space is very flexible and reconfigurable to suit all needs, so please feel free to use it in a way that suits your needs. However, we would appreciate that you leave the space exactly as you found it.
• Noise Control:
  • Please be mindful of your noise level. This is a coworking space and research office, so there are often multiple people working in the space.
