The Scientia Web Room Booking tool (WRB) allows faculty and staff to request General Use classroom space at UBC Okanagan campus. Access to WRB is limited to departmental staff who are responsible for booking academic-ad hoc and administrative bookings only.

The UBCO Online Timetable Web Server can be used to search for classroom availability.
