Q.        How do I reserve a room, kiosk, table, mall or poster space?
A.        To make reservation requests for rooms, kiosk, tables, mall or poster space, use our web page for reservations.

A.        Atwood now has the option for you to complete a weekly reservation request on-line.
 As always, you are also welcome to fill out a weekly reservation request form in person when our office is open.  

Q.        Will you take phone reservations?

Do not send out any information about your event until you receive a confirmation.   Turn-around times vary depending on the time of year (the first few weeks at the beginning of each semester is always the busiest time of year), the complexity of the reservation, and whether or not there are conflicts or additional information required in order to complete the reservation.  We process reservations on a first come, first served basis.
