Re: Cst Studio Suite Learning
Edel Dieringer
There are a range of library spaces available for booking - some through LibCal and some through Outlook. This guide is focused primarily on the Learning Studios (5 rooms in Main, 1 in WSEL) dedicated to instructional work. However, we are also including a brief reference for all library spaces here. (For detailed information on booking all library space please go to )
Please note: this option is for scheduling open sessions, workshops and events to be be publicized and promoted on the Libraries' website and in the main Events & Workshop Calendar. Only staff trained to manage these should use this method.
Also note - when booking spaces via the Events calendar - open hours are by default set to Main Public Access Hours. If you are booking in a location other than Main - please confirm this space will be open during the desired time. If you attempt to book outside open hours, you will receive an onscreen alert to inform you that the event you are trying to add falls outside of the library's opening hours (image for reference). You will still be able to create an event outside of those hours so please double check
When on the learning studio calendar page - click on the "INFO" button to the left of each room to learn more about its capacity and available technology. Library sponsored programs take precedence over solely outside (campus or community) use. Please note: using the booking form puts a temporary hold on the space. You will receive a confirmation within 48 business hours.
The Collaborative Learning Studio is an amenity-rich educational studio and lab. A large video wall combined with multiple cameras provides an immersive visual and learning experience for in-person, live streaming, and recorded events.

Located at 25 E Jackson (Lewis Center) on the 12th floor in suite 1250, studio 1254 is a sound treated booth with studio lights, speaker camera, document camera, microphone, one touchscreen monitor, and one viewing monitor. Users can either use the MacOS machine provided in the studio or bring in their own device to attach to our capture card (HDMI or USB-C only).
This studio space is best utilized for presenting annotated slide decks (PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote, etc.), demonstrating code, reviewing software or websites, or any materials best presented through the computer directly. The space will fit 1 speaker comfortably but can fit 2 presenters together with careful setup.
This is an advanced studio and must be scheduled 2 weeks in advance, as staff needs to be scheduled to run the equipment.
