Booking rooms

There are a range of rooms available for booking in Williamson or elsewhere on campus.  See the corresponding section below for booking instructions.  (Note: Internal meetings by Atmospheric Science staff can be held in 1.06 or 1.10; see Julie Samson for booking.)

Williamson rooms

Rooms available include: G.12, G.14, G.16, G.45, 1.12, 1.45, 2.16, 2.79. 2.45, 2.49 To book these, ask Gemma Coleman (or alternatively Lynn Walker).

Other on-campus rooms

Other rooms on campus for larger meetings can be booked via the Central Teaching Spaces.  Their website details how they can be contacted and the procedure for viewing and booking.  There are also other conference and meeting facilities and rooms offered by the university that can be booked for use, although some of these come with a potential charge.  For staff based in Simon building, Julie Samson will be able to assist with the booking.

Ordering catering

If you want to order catering for your meeting (tea/coffee and biscuits, or sandwiches), the university provides a catering service called Taste Manchester.  Their website contains their menus and details of how to order.  Please note that it may be easier for you to arrange catering via the Staff and Student Support Office; you’ll need to provide them with a charge code and confirmation of approval from the budget holder of the grant being charged to.  For staff based in Simon building, Julie Samson will be able to assist with the order.
