Classrooms, Meeting Rooms, and Auditoriums can be reserved for use outside of academic classes for MCAD-related activities by any staff, instructor, or student. The Room Reservation system (Ad Astra) is a tool for staff/faculty/students to reserve classrooms, meeting spaces, and other areas. Individuals will submit an “Event Request” through the public-facing MCAD Room Reservation portal.
While Ad Astra prevents room scheduling conflicts, specific space requests may be changed at any time based on the various needs of the college.
E-mail room_reservations@mcad.edu with questions about specific requests, issues, or concerns. Please include all concerned parties in the email thread.
A few notes:
- The new process will ask you for the date and time of your request first, and then show you available spaces at that time. If there is a conflict in a room that you specifically need please email room_reservations@mcad.edu
- Please use the "Name Your Request" field in step two, while it is an optional field it greatly helps us process your requests.
- The room search form can be searched by room features to find a room to best suit your needs. Use the “Available only” toggle to show you only the rooms that are available at your preferred time:
- You will begin to receive email notifications about your events. You can update your email preferences via the “notifications” link in any email you receive.
- Auditorium 150 is only bookable during the Media Center's regular business hours.
- Collaborative spaces with no furniture setup, technology, or AV support needs are found on Places and Spaces under Schedules > Collaborative Spaces, and can be reserved directly there. Please see our section on Places and Spaces for further information.
