Conference Room Booking Procedures - Chipman Room (6-104), 16-602, 13-5002, 13-4106

These rooms are available to all DMSE faculty members, DMSE support and research staff, Student Services staff, ASO staff, DMSE students, and DMSE-related research groups for meetings, thesis defenses, and seminars. The rooms' use policies and available equipment are outlined below; please review carefully and make reservations according to the following procedures. Extreme and/or consistent failure to abide by these policies will be brought to the attention of the Department Head and may result in the denial of use of the conference rooms.

Please note:

  • Set-up and clean-up is the sole responsibility of the individuals and groups using the rooms and should be factored into the reservation period; the clean-up, along with returning furniture, blinds, etc., to their original arrangement, must be done immediately following the event.
  • Any event running long and inconveniencing another group will be interrupted.
  • It is the responsibility of the group or individual making the reservation to arrange for the drop-off and pick-up of any required AV equipment or food and catering equipment.
  • Users are asked to clean up any food waste, either by requesting custodial service or bagging waste and placing it in the hallway for pickup.

All rooms are available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Any use of the rooms outside of these hours must be specially arranged, on a case-by-case basis, by a DMSE faculty member who will take responsibility for obtaining and returning a key and locking the room. If a reservation is no longer needed, please cancel as early as possible so that others may use the room. When the Chipman Room and 13-5002 are not in use, students are welcome to use them as a study space. The Department is not responsible for any personal items left, lost, or stolen in the conference rooms.

Chipman Room

Contact DMSE Headquarters at x3-3300 to reserve this room or use the request form (see link at left).

The Chipman Room is available for non-repeating events such as thesis defenses and seminars. Only Departmental Committees are permitted to book the room for weekly or bi-weekly meetings or other events: the room is not to be used for weekly Research Group meetings or for classes. The Department reserves the right to cancel any reservation up until one day prior to the event if a Departmental need arises. The room contains a projection system and a whiteboard. Both a slide projector and an overhead projector are available in DMSE headquarters.

The ordinary hours for the Chipman Room are 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Outside of these hours the room is typically locked for security purposes. If you need to use the room earlier in the morning please come to 6-113 to pick up a copy of the key the day before. If you will be using the room later in the evening, it is your responsibility to make sure that the room is locked at the end of your event.

DMSE HQ has an additional conference room which may also be reserved. It is located in 6-103.

16-602

Contact any member of the Student Services Office via email to dmse-16-602(at)mit.edu to reserve this room. The room is kept locked when not in use; a keycode will be provided when the room is reserved.

16-602 is available for thesis defenses, seminars, meetings, and classes; it may not be used for events at which food or drink of any kind will be served. If the room is needed for a class, please book it by add date of the previous semester. Reservations for other repeating events will only be taken through the end of the current academic segment (fall semester, IAP, spring semester, summer session). The Department reserves the right to cancel any reservation up until one day prior to the event if a Departmental need arises.

The room contains a projection screen and an overhead projector, as well as a VCR/TV cart, blackboards, and several net drops. It is the responsibility of the group or individual making the reservation to arrange for the drop-off and pick-up of any required AV equipment.

Users of this room are reminded to clean up after the event. It is not fair, nor should it be expected, that others will clean up after an event.

Please be responsible in your use of this conference room! We do not want to restrict the use of the room out of necessity by keeping it locked. If you make a mess, clean up. If you borrow a journal, return it! Do not leave journals or theses lying on the table or blocking ventilation under the windows—re-shelve them! Courtesy is appreciated by all.
