Desk Booking – For Flexible Work

Operations Management and Capital Programs is partnering with Information Technology Services, University Centers and select departments to assess a workspace booking tool to support hybrid work arrangements. With desk booking, you can schedule a workspace, department conference room or collaboration/huddle room when you need to work on campus.

Desk Booking Features

Users with active accounts can:

• Filter for:
  • Participants’ buildings
  • Available dates
  • Type of space (individual workspace, collaboration, private office, etc.)
• View:
  • Images of spaces and amenities (monitor, docking station, ADA accommodations, sit-stand desk, etc.)
  • Locations on a floor plan
• Book reservations on a responsive website (works well on desktop and mobile)
• Get notifications and/or view your upcoming reservations

Have Workspaces to Share?

If you have workspaces to share and have identified someone to manage them, contact omcp@ucsd.edu. We will schedule a preliminary meeting to introduce your group to our tools to ensure that they fit your needs and coordinate next steps.

Current tool features allow:

• Reservations to be routed for approval and/or to be available on demand (first-come, first-serve)
• Locations to be limited to the specific department or vice chancellor internal staff only to help manage office sharing
