Group rooms are given priority use by faculty using audiovisual programs for class instruction activities, etc. Rooms can also be used by groups of students needing to use Nonprint materials together.
Our group playback rooms are in high demand, so availability is not guaranteed. We highly recommend reserving rooms with as much advance notice as possible. Reservations can be made by calling 301-405-9236 or using our online room reservation form.
