Reservation System

Instructions on how to reserve Team study rooms and Individual carrels.

Reservation System - Team Study Rooms

Teamwork rooms (floors four to six) are ideal for group projects, study, and research. They are equipped with electrical outlets, data ports, flipcharts, and white boards.

The only thing we kindly ask for is to respect maximum room capacity. Do not modify room furnishings in any way (i.e., remove chairs, bring in more chairs, etc.).

Reservation time

The minimum amount of time required to make a reservation is one hour. You can make longer reservations for a half-day, day or week, depending on your needs and availability.

Cost

If you are a student, professor, graduate student, or researcher from a Czech university or from the Czech Academy of Science, the fee is 30 CZK/hour. We charge a fee to ensure reservations are used.

If you are from another organization and have longer-term needs, please discuss your request with our Event and Conference Services team.
