A WORKED EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO
An empty room may still be unsuitable
A staff member requests space for a practical assessment. The available classroom lacks the equipment and access arrangements needed for the activity.
The decision and its context
Check capacity, accessibility, equipment, setup time and conflicts before approval. A booking request should identify its purpose so the facilities team can assess suitability.
What a complete outcome looks like
The confirmed booking should explain where the activity takes place and what must be ready. Maintenance downtime should remove the affected space from availability.

Plan your implementationBEFORE THE CONVERSATION
Useful questions about facility & room bookings.
Can bookings include setup time?
Preparation and clearing buffers can be included so an apparently free slot does not conflict with the work needed around an event.
How does this fit the institution’s operating procedures?
Map the actual service handoffs, staff cover arrangements, and exception procedures first. Test a normal day and a disrupted day with the people responsible for running the service.
