Appropriate Use of Campus Buildings
Specific areas within Gleacher and Harper Centers and Booth 455 are designated for the exclusive use of Chicago Booth students, staff, faculty, and guests of the school’s administration. Examples of these areas are: classrooms, internet stations, student group study rooms, student lounges, and quiet study areas. Any use of Chicago Booth campuses not directly related to the academic mission of the school must be approved by the deans or designated staff.
Harper Center and Gleacher Center are to be utilized by Booth students, faculty, and staff to participate in the school’s academic and community programs. Social and nonacademic events held in either center should support Chicago Booth’s educational and community aims. Harper Center and Gleacher Center are not a substitute for other venues that support social activities inappropriate for an educational facility such as bars, clubs, or gambling establishments.
The building hours for Chicago Booth students with authorized UChicago Cards is Monday–Sunday 7 a.m. until 11 p.m. Gleacher Center and Booth 455 are closed for events on Sundays.
Commercial use or the seeking of personal gain through use of any and all University of Chicago assets or resources (i.e., equipment, facilities, confidential information, internet and intranet access, networks, databases, and email systems) for business not related to the University of Chicago is not allowed.
Students, or guests of students, who violate the above policies will be subject to Chicago Booth disciplinary procedures outlined in the Discipline section.
Gleacher Center Computer Lab—Usage Policy
All current, registered Chicago Booth students may access Gleacher Center’s computer lab during normal building hours. Chicago Booth alumni may access Gleacher Center’s computer lab Monday–Friday, except from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Alumni use is not permitted on Saturday or Sunday.
Group Study Rooms—Usage Policy
All students registered for a Chicago Booth class can reserve group study rooms in Booth 455, Gleacher Center, and Harper Center. Group study rooms are reserved online via the online reservation tool through the intranet.
A student will have priority access to space in the building where their program is based. For example, the Full-Time MBA Program and PhD Program are based at Harper Center; Evening MBA, Executive MBA, Weekend MBA, Master in Management, and Master in Finance Programs are based at Booth 455 and Gleacher Center. Priority access means students can reserve group study rooms located in their home campus up to seven days in advance. All others can make reservations one day in advance (i.e., reservations for Friday can be made beginning midnight on Thursday).
Students using group study rooms must hang their UCID in the window so Security can verify the students’ reservation.
Group study rooms are intended for use by two or more students and can be reserved in one-hour increments, with a maximum reservation time of three hours. Consecutive reservations by one student are not permitted and a minimum of two hours between reserved rooms per student is required.
Students are only able to reserve study rooms; student groups looking to reserve space should work through their Student Life advisor. All room requests for the purposes of administering the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the University and GSU-UE should be directed through the UChicagoGrad Room Reservation Form.
