All students have access to the Dean’s Lounge in MVR 159, which was designed by six students in the College of Human Ecology’s Design + Environmental Analysis (DEA) program to be a comfortable, quiet and environmentally friendly workspace. The space was designed to encompass the college’s dedication to research, innovation, sustainability and community.
Lounge 159 provides distinct spaces to meet different student needs: group meeting areas, individual desks for studying, two areas for socializing and a computer workstation area. The workstations include five computers (three with a 15-minute limit, two with a 45-minute limit). Black and white printing is available through Net-Print.
Cornell Human Ecology has event spaces available for use by the Human Ecology community only. Several of the available spaces are used to support academic classes and may not be scheduled for events until classes have been placed in the term in which you're requesting space.
All common spaces in the college are considered public space (i.e., Commons, Courtyards, Atrium, and Terraces). As such, they are shared at all times with our students and academic community. You will not be able to completely restrict access to these spaces so please consider this as you plan your event.
Go to scheduling.cornell.edu and log in to submit an Event Request. After you submit the form, you will receive an automated confirmation of your request.
Please be sure to include starting and ending times in your event request. Currently, the building hours are 7:30 am through 8:30 pm, Monday-Friday. If you have an event planned for a weekend or outside of the regular hours, make sure that is noted. Please include time at the beginning and end of your event to allow for the arrival/departure of caterers or other vendors.
In 1-3 business days, you will receive an email to notify you if the space is available on the date and time you requested.
If the space is available, you will then receive an email notifying you if the event is approved. Please allow another 1-3 days for this approval. The college's space use coordinator may contact you for further details regarding your event before approval is given.
