What is the Online Room Reservation System?

The medical campus online reservation system, Event Management System (EMS), is hosted by the UW Department of Information Technology (DoIT) and managed by the SMPH Room Reservations group.  The SMPH Room Room Reservations Office hours are Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

This platform is a centralized portal for SMPH and UW Health faculty, staff, and students to access and reserve instructional, meeting, and event space within the medical school campus. The rooms in the system are primarily lecture halls, conference and meeting rooms, and study spaces.  This includes the Health Sciences Learning Center (HSLC), Clinical Sciences Center (CSC), Medical Foundation Centennial Building (MFCB), and Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WIMR), among other spaces in our system.

Depending on your position and department you will have access to a variety of instructional, study, training, meeting, or other event spaces and equipment/furniture. With the system’s tools and functionality you can search for specific features (room configurations, locations, technology, sizes, etc) reserve individual meetings, as well as recurring and even a varied series of reservations. This includes the ongoing ability to access and review current and former reservations, make edits/cancellations to upcoming event details, and reserve certain furniture or event equipment you may need.

With hundreds of rooms included within this centralized system, standard requests for space should be properly submitted via a fully activated user account. General requests submitted via email will not be processed. Please see instructions on account activation, and special request procedures outlined within the other tabs.

The Room Reservations office also coordinates the EMS system separately for specific SMPH departmental spaces under MOUs, including the Surgery Department, Wisconsin Psychiatric Institute and Clinics.

Guidelines and Policies

When Can I Make a Room Reservation?

Academic/timetable courses and the academic mission of the school is SMPH’s priority and is reflected in our Room Reservation Guidelines. Therefore access to the online schedules are released by the semester and not annually and based on the medical school’s course schedule. Please review the order of prioritization outlined within the Room Reservation Guidelines for clarification.

If you are attempting to request space further out than the current semester and the system appears to have an error, it is likely that the schedule is not open for general access yet. Many access schedules can be found by clicking the “about” button next to the specific template you’re considering once logged into your online reservation account.

HSLC’s semester booking template, specifically, due the Medical Education Office schedule, is often not open for general booking until approximately three months prior to the start of the next semester.  Fall template opens approximately around early June.  Spring template opens approximately around early October.  Summer template opens approximately around early March.

Instructions for Using the Online Reservation System (EMS)

Reservation Best Practices at SMPH

  1. Before utilizing an SMPH managed space, reserve the space via the online Room Reservation System or a display tablet at the room.
  2. When booking a reservation, include setup time for arriving/prepping and cleanup/exiting time.
  3. The Confirmation email you receive will have the details for the reservation.  Double check this for accuracy and keep it as a reference should there be a discrepancy upon arriving to your space.
  4. Only occupy the space during the time of your reservation, including setup/clean up time (see item #2).
  5. Respect the group prior to yours and do not disturb until the start of your reservation time.  If they are still in the space at your start time, knock and ask respectfully when they will be finished; usually they are just wrapping up.  If they believe the space is theirs, reference your Confirmation email and ask them to reference theirs to double check. No double bookings can occur in the online system.
  6. Exit by the end of your reservation time allowing time for cleanup of food, materials, return of reserved portable equipment to CAVS, and wiping soiled tables.
  7. Double check the time listed on your reservation to ensure you have what you need, including AM/PM accuracy. We regularly get lunch hour meetings scheduled at midnight.
  8. Clearly communicate start/end times and guidelines with anyone you’re coordinating reservations for, so all are in the loop.

What is the Status of COVID in SMPH and UW Health Spaces (CSC)

Masking Changes for UW Health – May 8, 2023

 

ARCHIVED:

SMPH Spaces Communication September 5, 2022

  • Mask updates in SMPH: Since March 2022, masks have no longer been required in most campus spaces, including many in SMPH. However, masks are still required in some areas of the Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research (WIMR), such as its entrance, central elevators, basement, and patient imaging areas, due to patient care occurring in these spaces. Masks are also still required inside the Clinical Teaching and Assessment Center on the third floor of the Health Sciences Learning Center (HSLC) to enable clinical simulation learning scenarios for health professions students. Pay attention to signage to know if a mask is still required in a specific area. See this map’s highlighted areas to know where to wear a mask in WIMR and HSLC.
    • Be respectful of individual choices about mask wearing. We encourage those who want to continue to wear masks to do so.
    • See this Q&A from campus on the mask policy changes.
    • When you work or learn in a health care setting, follow the requirements of that health system. When in UW Health facilities, the VA Medical Center, or engaged in patient care or clinical learning in our statewide campus locations, follow the requirements in that setting.

Message from UW Health on December 20, 2022

Be Vigilant: Use Proper Masking, Distancing, and Self-Monitor for Respiratory Illness

Influenza activity has risen to extremely high levels at UW Health and throughout the U.S., so it is vitally important for all of us to remain vigilant in preventing the spread of respiratory infections.

As a health care organization, our safety protocols will always be more extensive than other community employers. Specifically:

  • Proper masking—fit and form—and abiding by masking guidelines
    • Although mask requirements have lifted in other areas, we care for vulnerable patients in the health care setting and masking is still required at UW Health in areas where patients could be present.
    • Staff and providers are required to wear a well-fitting barrier mask—covering the mouth and nose—in areas of the facility where they could encounter patients. In our clinical settings, staff and providers should be wearing the right mask with the right fit based on the circumstances of patient care.
    • Relaxed behaviors among staff and providers in patient care areas have been observed. We need to remain vigilant in following best practice infection control behaviors that are in line with the latest CDC recommendations for health care facilities.
  • Updated guidelines for conference and training spaces
    • Physical distancing in conference rooms is no longer enforced; room capacity limit signs will be removed.
    • Masks are strongly advised in conference spaces in our clinical facilities and in any space (clinical or non-clinical) where staff sit within 6-feet of each other.
  • Staying home while ill
    • Staff and providers must continue daily symptom monitoring and not come to work when experiencing acute respiratory illness, even if COVID-19 testing is negative.

Message sent to UW Health faculty and staff as of March, 2022

https://intranet.med.wisc.edu/2022/03/07/uw-health-masking-guideline-update-to-non-clinical-areas-effective-march-12/

Message on the UW Health Link:

UW Hospital and Clinics Update March 4, 2022

As COVID-19 case volumes continue to fall, guidance related to mask wearing at UW Health will be revised soon. Beginning Saturday, March 12, faculty and staff will only be required to wear masks in areas where patients and their families are likely to be present.

These areas include:

  • Places where patient care or regular patient interactions occur, such as clinics, inpatient units or registration
  • Places with regular traffic from patients and visitors, such as main entrance ways, cafeterias and elevators

Administrative buildings such as the Administrative Services Building (ASB) or Administrative Office Building (AOB) will no longer require mask wearing. If staff are uncertain whether an area meets the criteria for this change, they should continue to mask in those areas.

While masks are no longer required in certain locations, they are still highly encouraged as COVID-19 continues to spread in our community. Faculty and staff are expected to utilize good judgement, particularly in the following scenarios:

  • Faculty and staff who received a waiver from our mandatory vaccination policy are expected to continue wearing a mask in all indoor locations
  • Faculty and staff who have had a recent known exposure to COVID-19 are recommended to continue wearing a mask in all indoor locations

While we welcome the ability to make limited changes to our safety guidelines as COVID-19 case volumes drop, there are no changes for the following at this time:

  • Visitor guidelines remain unchanged, including the requirement that all visitors must wear a mask
  • Physical distancing guidelines are still observed
  • All faculty and staff are required to get their COVID-19 booster as part of UW Health’s vaccination mandate

Thank you for your continued commitment to our patients, families, and each other.

What if Your Reserved Space is Occupied When you Arrive?

SMPH meeting and conference rooms should be properly reserved through the online Room Reservation System, and include all times you or someone from your group will be present within the space, including setup and teardown. Once reserved, the person who submitted the request will receive a Confirmation email. Always double check the date, time, and location, including setup and tear down times, are listed accurately on the Confirmation email. You can also review this information within your online account under the “My Events” section.  Keep your confirmation email should a later reference be needed.

If you arrive and the room you have reserved is occupied, double check your reservation to confirm the date, time, and location using the Confirmation Email or the Building Schedule.  Many events occur consecutively on the schedule, but the online system will never allow for double booking of any location.

If your reservation time has started, please knock and ask if the other group will be finishing up soon because your group has reserved the space now.

If the group believes the space belongs to them, reference your Confirmation Email which can demonstrate the space belongs to your group.  Share the confirmation email with them and ask them to double check theirs.  The online system does not allow double bookings.

If the room is locked when you arrive please consult the resources listed on your building specific confirmation email for who to contact regarding access.

Food in HSLC and SMPH

Food is allowed in most spaces in HSLC.

Food in Lecture Halls: Food is allowed in the lecture halls, but we recommend serving food outside the lecture hall and therefore reserving the space directly outside the lecture hall or the Atrium. Let Room Reservations staff know your intentions in order to reserve the space outside the room for tables.

On-Campus Options for Food Service at HSLC: Wisconsin UnionUW Housing;  UW Health Catering in CSC: https://uwhealthcatering.catertrax.com/  Don’t forget the Union has a snack shop in the HSLC Atrium – Badger Market in HSLC (608-890-1964) – where coffee and snacks can be purchased by your attendees directly during open hours.

Water: You may need a water source for catering for your food service.  Pro planner tip:  Reserving 1203 HSLC in addition to your lecture hall or Atrium in order to access a sink with running water or to store catering carts and supplies out of plain view may be helpful to you.

Tidy up: Chances are another group is coming into the space soon after your group ends.  Wipe down tables and tidy up before vacating the space, as you would want done for your group. Plan ahead and bring some wipes and paper towels in your meeting supplies. Pro planner tip: bring a few wet soapy wash cloths from home in a zip lock bag and bring them out for cleanup.

Serving Tables:  Extra tables to serve food on are ordered through your online room reservation account using the Moveable Equipment and Furniture template.  Tables are picked up and returned by you to Classroom and AV Services (CAVS) office in 1240 HSLC.  If you require more tables than the CAVS inventory, you should order them through Facilities Planning and Management.  The Atrium should be returned to the standard Atrium Setup when the event concludes.

There are also companies who have purchasing contracts with UW campus for tables and chairs rental.  Visit UW Business Services website for more information about renting tables and chairs from outside vendors: https://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/purch/contract/wp5979.html

Garbage Cans: If you are serving boxed lunches or items that will produce quite a bit a garbage, there are (2) 55-gallon cans you can reserve through your online room reservations account through the Moveable Equipment and Furniture template.  Pick those up at the CAVS office at 1240 HSLC.  You can also request extra garbage bags through the CAVS office.  Classrooms typically have the smaller office type garbage cans and cannot handle a large load of trash from meals.  The HSLC atrium does have some permanent cans.  You can also request cans through Facilities and Planning Management (FP&M). Campus custodial service does not come through the space until after hours.

Food Delivery: Food Delivery from on or off campus caterers is best handled on the northeast side of HSLC in Parking Lot 74.  There is a 10 minute loading zone for deliveries. See the yellow circled area where the doors and a ramp are located.

Licensed Vendors: Food must be provided by a licensed food caterer or vendor.  Consider using a campus food service operations such as Housing and the Wisconsin Union.

Insurance: If you are providing food from an off-campus vendor, you must obtain a Certificate of Insurance or check to see if one is already on file at UW Risk Management office.  This must be filed or on file with the UW Office of Risk Management before the purchase order is issued or invoice paid. Forward the certificate of insurance to Risk Management at 21 N park St Ste 6214, Madison, WI 53715, or by fax to 608-262-9082 or foodstandpermits@bussvc.wisc.edu 

SMPH Official Functions and Events Pre-Approval Form: If your SMPH event is an “official function”, a pre-approval form may be required.  An Official function and expense is a reasonable and moderate expenditure (excluding alcoholic beverages) directly associated with a university “official functions” that may have a social component but substantially advances or contributes to the university’s mission.  This may require a signature on a event SMPH Pre-Approval Form by the department delegated division business office executive.  See your division head for more guidance.

Some official function examples are:

  • Functions for parents of preregistering students.
  • Inauguration ceremony for a new chancellor.
  • Functions for graduating classes and their parents.
  • Functions for community leaders, prominent visitors, legislators, officials, or leaders of educational programs.
  • Functions for Board of Visitors or officials from other public or private institutions.
  • Functions related to the opening of new facilities and dedication ceremonies.
  • Functions for officially recognized student groups. Link to University Official Student Groups.
  • Recognition functions to honor distinguished faculty, staff, and students for significant, meritorious achievements.
  • Faculty, staff, and student recruitment events.
  • House hunting trip for faculty or staff (restricted to the employee and one spouse/significant other/companion).
  • Employee recognition and morale/team building events such as honoring an employee retiring or separating from the university with at least five years of service and annual holiday/general appreciation events.
  • Meal expenses associated with an official function up to $150.00 per person including alcohol expenses paid by the Wisconsin Foundation Alumni Association.

Alcohol In HSLC Atrium

UW–Madison has an online system for alcohol beverage service permits. Alcohol Beverage Service Permits are required for alcohol service at all university events — both on and off campus — with exceptions for certain events as outlined in the UW–Madison-Specific Alcohol Beverage Regulations, Section II: 1-4. The permits are administered through University Health Services. Below is some information on the current alcohol permit system. SMPH Requires this permit in order to serve alcohol. More information on requesting a permit for an SMPH event: https://intranet.med.wisc.edu/smph-alcohol-beverage-service-permits/

Further questions about serving alcohol can be directed to Director of Signature Events, Traci Gaydos, (traci.gaydos@wisc.edu) in the SMPH Dean’s Office.

Lactation Rooms at SMPH and UW Health

Lactation rooms and “Lactation Friendly” locations are available in many UW–Madison and UW Health buildings to provide a welcoming environment for employees, learners, and guests. Such rooms provide private space where lactating individuals are welcome to pump or nurse. Most of these spaces are equipped with a comfortable chair, a small table and an electrical outlet. Each lactation room is operated by the building manager of the specific building. The following list summarizes information for several buildings on the western side of campus as of May 2022. Additional information is available through the UW–Madison Office of Child Care and Family Resources.

Other Frequently Asked Questions and Common Facts about Room Reservations

When can I reserve space in HSLC?

Meeting space in HSLC is based on the academic semester and Timetable courses are given the highest priority.  Until Timetable courses are scheduled and solidified by the Medical Education Office (MEO), HSLC is not open for general booking.  HSLC semester booking template “typically” opens approximately three months prior to the start of the semester. Fall template opens approximately around early June.  Spring template opens approximately around early October.  Summer template opens approximately around early March.

Why am I getting error when trying to make a reservation?

Chances are you are attempting to make a reservation on a template that is not open for booking yet.  Templates are opened by the semester and HSLC is open “approximately” three months prior to the start of the next semester.  Click the “About” button on the template for more information about booking windows.  If you are still having issues, contact the reservations office for support.

There are other meeting spaces I see in my building, but they are not listed in the online system.  Why?

Meeting and conference rooms are often coordinated by the department in the closest vicinity and have chosen to not put the room in the system. Contact the department coordinator nearest that room and inquire directly.

Is there a room where students can meditate or pray? 

3367 HSLC is designated as a meditation/prayer room for students.  It can be reserved using the scheduler at the door.   Another place for quiet contemplation is at the UW Hospital and Clinics chapel.  The chapel is located near the Children’s hospital.  Consults maps at CSC.

Do I need to provide push pins for the poster boards?

Yes.  There may be a few stragglers on the boards, but they are not provided to groups.  Please bring your own and collect them when finished using the boards. 

The meeting room I am in is dirty or has a temperature or lighting issue.  What should I do?
