• When finished using the meeting room, please dispose of all trash and papers, and return chairs neatly to the table.  Press the “end session” button on the Surface Hub device if it is not already on the home screen.

How to reserve rooms using Outlook

While you may see other rooms in O’Brien Hall and across campus in Outlook, only the rooms listed above are for student use, other meeting rooms in O’Brien Hall such as 111, 215A, and 407 are for faculty/staff use only.

Create a meeting or appointment in your personal Outlook calendar, and enter the date, time, and title of the meeting. Remember the title of this meeting will be displayed on the Surface Hub device along with your name.

Press the Location button, and in the search field enter OB and press enter.  Choose from one of the six hub rooms listed above, and double-click it to add it to your meeting.  If the room says “unavailable” please try another one.

Add other meeting attendees to your meeting invite, and press the Teams Meeting button if you want to enable a Teams meeting via the Surface Hub device.  If using Teams, please be aware that all in-person and remote attendees must be added to the same meeting invite for the Surface Hub device to work properly.  Press send or save and the room is reserved.  You will receive an automated email from the room confirming your reservation.
