Find the room you need with the new Find a Space tool!

What we’re asking

The new Find a Space tool on the Learning Spaces website is live! 

This upgraded tool makes it easier for you to search for available buildings, classrooms, and other informal spaces. You can filter your search by building, capacity, layout, accessibility (wheelchair accessible, assistive listening, automatic door), audio visual equipment, and other room features.  

We want to raise awareness about the change and the new tool to the UBC community, particularly staff and faculty. Please share with your department/unit during January.

Visit the Learning Spaces website.
