When discussing items of this nature with academic departments, we have recommended using either our our email system or a simple web form. I really like the web form that our physics department uses, here is a link: https://uwm.edu/physics/contact-us/conference-room-reqest/?

On their web form, you can see links to outlook for each of their reservable rooms.

Subject: Reservation solution for small number of spaces

Hi folks-
An academic department reached out to me looking for ideas for a reservation platform to help in reserving three classrooms and one multipurpose space in a building. They were interested in EMS but I think it’s far too complex for their needs. I am not sure if anyone knows of a “smaller” platform that might do the trick?

Their needs are fairly minimal:
– all spaces come “as is” so there’s no equipment booking needs
– a limited number of student organizations, internal departments, and a few program partners have booking access
– they do not need functionality to manage catering, audio-visual, or other event “extras”

I’m wondering if you all are aware of different platforms that might be a good fit? I suggested Mazevo as an alternative, but if there are other ideas please share!

Thanks in advance,
