Room reservations may be made in advance for the Burkhead Seminar Room using the Google calendar room reservation system. The Burkhead Seminar Room has 1 table with 6-8 chairs. The room is located near the Tower offices and requires use of stairs.
The Abolition Lab and the Podcasting Studio are also available via Google Calendar. Please check with Jen Andrella if you have questions regarding this space.
Seymour Library has the following rooms available for event reservations that are not available via Google Calendar: Muelder Room (Red Room), Standish Room, Bookfellow Room (Gold Carpet room), and Andrews Forum. In order to reserve one of these spaces please complete the reservation request form found here: Library Room Reservation Form
Please submit your reservation request as early as possible. A library staff member will reach out to you to confirm your reservation. Seymour Library asks that you forward a copy of all work orders (set up and clean up) to Tom Colclasure at thcolclasure@knox.edu.
What to include in your work orders:
Set up Work Order:
Number of people estimated in attendance
Plans for how you would like the room to be set up, including any additional furniture needing to be brought in.
Will the furniture currently in the requested room need to be moved out prior to your event set up.
If you need a podium for your event (Seymour Library does not provide one)
Clean up work order:
Please include the date cleanup should happen. Because the library is a public space used by students, it is important the cleanup work orders are submitted on time. Check with your library contact for scheduling cleanup.
Events that run beyond normal operating hours require the library remain open and provide staffing. Library operating hours can be found here: https://knox.libcal.com/hours. When utilizing the elevator we prefer to have a library staff member dedicated to managing its usage.
Seymour Library allows food. We request that the food be removed from the event space by the end of your event reservation. You will be responsible for organizing with your caterer for your event.
Thank you for supporting and helping us maintain this historical space. We look forward to working with you.
