Conference Rooms:
SOAP: Stella Room 7-338
Situated in the Wolk Gallery, the Stella Room is generally used for meetings and presentations. Because of limited space available within the School of Architecture and Planning (SA+P) for events, activities related to SA+P meetings and faculty-sponsored events will be scheduled on a first-come first-served basis. All others within the MIT community may request the Stella Room WITHIN three weeks of the date of their event.

Other policies remain in effect for all users (e.g.: set-up and clean-up time must be incorporated into the overall reservation time, all food and trash must be removed by the end of the reservation time, fees will be imposed as necessary to support room use policies, etc.).

The Stella Room sits about 20 at the oval table, with seats along the edges for more. Please see “Stella Rooms Policy” for more information. To book the room, email sapreserve@mit.edu. For Stella Policy sheet, download pdf.

ARCH: Conference Room (3-309)
Reserved as the Department Head’s Conference room, the head’s meetings have first priority. The room consists of a round table, which seats about 20, and a row of seats by the large windows.
