Forbes College is home to beautiful spaces like our Common Room, Main Dining Room and Forbes Patio. During the academic year we are not able to host events for other departments or student groups in these spaces, as they serve as a home for our students and Forbes programming.

To make a request to reserve one of our Classrooms 121 or 126: Please visit scheduling.princeton.edu.

PLEASE NOTE: Requests are only processed during business hours (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm). Please be sure to provide at least a week’s notice for your requests.  You must submit your request for space in EMS, we cannot put the request in for you.

• We do not permit groups to reserve either of the classrooms during Saturday or Sunday brunch from 8am-3pm.
• You are not permitted to bring “outside” foods into the Private Dining Room.
• If you would like to have guests swipe in for meals from campus dining, you need to contact the Forbes dining manager, Julie Badessa, with your chart string and number of guests a week prior to your meeting.
• The furniture is set up for classes and cannot be re-arranged in either classroom.
• Since our classrooms are needed for instruction and Forbes programing, we do not permit more than two reservation requests, per group, each month.
• Language tables need to meet in the Main Dining room. If you would like to purchase meals on a Tower Card for your dept table you can contact The Service Point with your chart string.

You may reach out to Jessie Cunningham with questions with room reservations.
