• 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 in the reservation notes:
  1. What the reservation is for
  2. The number of people who will be in attendance
  3. 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.
