Centrally Shared Spaces
Campus Events & Conference Services manages and facilitates the rentals and reservations for four additional common spaces, such as atriums or lobbies. Each unique in their design, these beautiful and spacious venues can be configured in a variety of ways to create a signature event experience.
The University of Toronto includes more than 300 lecture halls and classrooms, all of which are available to reserve for an upcoming event. The availability of these spaces is subject to the university’s academic schedule, which operates on a three-month timeline. As such, these rooms are only bookable three months in advance, after the academic schedule is released.
To book a lecture hall or classroom for an upcoming academic event, please visit Learning Space Management’s website.
