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.

Room reservations

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.

How to reserve a space

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.
