Suffolk University faculty and staff can reserve the following computer classrooms through our office - Sawyer 508, 521 and 522. These computer classrooms are all located on the 5th Flr, Sawyer Building, 8 Ashburton Place, Boston , MA

The following information should be carefully considered before making a request - 

  1. These facilities are available whenever regular classes are NOT scheduled.
  2. Semester long reservations are initially booked by department staff in coordination with OTM and the Registrar's office when course schedules are put into the system, normally a year in advance. 
  3. In general, we do not book any reservations in the room until we are a few weeks into the semester as needs change based on faculty teaching styles.
  4. For courses that need access for one or two sessions, OTM can schedule these based on room availability. 

Alert: If the reservation requires special software not already on the computers, we require additional time for acquiring, installing and testing (up to 3 months in advance during the semester)

Note: External organizations need to be sponsored by a University office or be granted permission to use the facilities by the University Provost's Office. We will not be able to reserve a room without a written authorization or sponsorship letter from University officials.
