First Floor Breakout Rooms Unavailable Through Spring

The first floor breakout rooms are unavailable for use for the remainder of the spring semesters due to construction that will be taking place on that end of the building. Some of the rooms will be converted to offices (temporarily) and some will be removed completely as part of the first floor redesign.

You are still able to book 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floor breakout rooms as well as conference rooms and classrooms. To do this, log in to rooms.rice.edu and select "book now".
