Reminder: Zoom Workspaces!

Whether you're planning your next day on Grounds or coordinating time with colleagues, reserving the right workspace is easiest with the Zoom Workspaces feature. Available through Zoom Workplace, Workspace Reservation allows employees to reserve desks, meeting rooms, and other shared workspaces at Carruthers Hall before arriving at the office. Using the interactive Carruthers map on Workspaces, you can quickly view available spaces, choose your desired location, and reserve it. 

Getting Started

Workspace Reservation is available through Zoom Workplace on both the desktop application and via web. 

To RESERVE a workspace:

1. Open Zoom Workplace.

2. Navigate to the Workspaces tab on the left side of the screen.

3. The Carruthers map will populate showcasing desk and meeting room layouts. 

4. Click on the date/time dropdown menu to view space availability on the Workspaces map for the appropriate day and time.

5. Click on the Floor1 or Floor2 dropdown menu towards the top of the screen to toggle between the floors. Note: You may need to select the 'Carruthers Hall' dropdown menu to view both floors.

6. Browse the map or available workspace list. Workspaces will appear red when in use or reserved, and green when available for reservation.

7. When you've decided on the space you want to reserve, click the blue + Reserve button in the upper left-hand corner. You'll be prompted to pick whether you're reserving a desk or room.

Other Features

Zoom Workspaces has a few other features that make reserving and viewing reservations even easier. 

Users can toggle between map view and timeline view using the dropdown menu to view reservations from a physical or temporal view. Below is a snapshot of what the timeline view displays.

Zoom Workspaces also allows you to view your upcoming reservations using the 'My reservations' option in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.

Hopefully you'll find this Zoom Workspaces feature helpful when deciding on a space for your next collaborative meeting or scouting out a solo desk area the next time you're in the office.
