Book venues at NTNU

If you wish to use a venue at NTNU you can reserve it via room booking. Employees can book lecture halls for the semester after the schedule has been published.

Regulations about who can book rooms for what, see short-term booking of campus areas.

Questions and requests for reservations far ahead will be answered through NTNU Hjelp.

Common areas on campus

Exhibitions and other events can be arranged in common areas but you have to book booth locations in the area you want to use.

Eastern Gløshaugen

This venue at Gløshaugen is administered by Rector. Contact Ingeborg Vasli, Rector’s secretary, if you have questions.

Rådssalen

Rådssalen in the Main Building is administered by Rector. All use must be accepted by her. An application must be submitted to Rector via Ingeborg Vasli. Rådssalen can not be used for doctoral defenses. If you want to arrange a doctoral defence in the Main Building, please use Disputasrommet (see information below).

Disputasrommet (formerly Totalrommet)

Disputasrommet in the Main Building is administered by Studieavdelingen, but is reserved for doctoral defenses and is not available for other events within three weeks of a scheduled doctoral defense. Book via room booking.
