About the Space 

Starting on September 20, 2021, the new Tririga Workplace Reservation Manager System will be used to reserve hoteling spaces as well as Zoom and Mersive huddle rooms in the newly-reconfigured 6th floor of the Science Library. At some point in the future, more spaces on campus will utilize this system, but at this time it is limited to the sixth floor of the Science Library and should be used by OIT staff members only. 

At this time, per current CDC and CDPH recommendation, masks are REQUIRED to be worn at all times whilst indoors, regardless of vaccination status. The only exception is vaccinated employees may remove their face covering when working alone behind a closed door. Please refer to the revised Chancellor's executive directive on face coverings for details.

The space is divided into two wings, North Pod and East Pod:

• 8 Dedicated Workspaces in the North Pod (capacity is 1 person/workspace)
  
  • To reach the North Pod, turn left as you walk into the space (if you turn right, you'll be heading towards the kitchen)
• 8 Dedicated Workspaces in the East Pod  (capacity is 1 person/workspace)
  
  • To reach the East Pod, continue past the North Pod and head around the corner. It is located near the restrooms.
• 10 Temporary Hotel Office Spaces
  
  • These offices are located around the circular suite. There is no equipment available in any of these spaces, desk and chair only. No ethernet, docking station, or monitor. WiFi is available through UCInetMobile Access or Eduroam
