FAQs

Can I Zoom from your meeting rooms?
Meeting Room D can connect to a Zoom meeting with audio and video if you request the Web Hub under the equipment options, however, you will need to use your personal Zoom account when setting up and logging into the meeting.

Is there a fee for using the rooms?
It doesn’t cost to use the meeting rooms; however, if the room is not returned to its standard setup, if there are damages, or if extraordinary cleanup must occur a minimum of $50 will be charged to cover it.

Can I serve food at my meetings?
Yes, but you must clean up when you are done. If you anticipate you will have a lot of trash, please notify us ahead of time and we’ll put an extra trash receptacle in the room.

What if I want to move the furniture around?
It is okay to move furniture that is not fixed to the floor; however, you are responsible for returning the room to the standard set up. Standard set ups are posted in each room. Tables in Rooms D and E may not be moved.
