  • How much time can I reserve?

    • Music students may reserve practice rooms and classrooms for up to 6 hours daily, with the hours organized into the following zones/limits:

    • Monday-Friday and Sunday

    • Midnight - 2am ET: 2 hours maximum (Note: booking during this time is only available when the building is open for a 24-hour period. Refer to the building hours for more info.)

      • 8am - 11am ET: 2 hours maximum

      • 11am - 9pm ET: 2 hours maximum 

      • 9pm - midnight ET: 2 hours maximum

    • Saturday

    • Floors 3, 4 & 7 are available starting at 6pm ET for student practice, following normal daily rules.

    • Floors Mezz, 5 & 6 are available to students during normal operating hours, following normal daily rules.

• • Reservations may be created up to 48 hours in advance. 

    • Mannes students: Reservations for available spaces can be booked up to 48 hours in advance.

  • To cancel a reservation, you must cancel it more than 2 hours before it begins.

  • Reservations are available only on the hour. (i.e., not at 1:30, 2:15, 3:45, etc.) and end before the top of the next hour. In practice rooms: your practice reservation begins at the top of the hour, and you should exit the space 5 minutes before the top of the hour so the next occupant may begin at the top of the hour. 

  • In classrooms: your practice reservation begins at the top of the hour. Students are required to leave a classroom in its default classroom configuration, straightening out the seats as necessary (see the image posted on the wall of each classroom). You should begin straightening up the room and packing away your items by 10 minutes before the top of the hour and exit at least 5 minutes before the top of the hour. This will allow the next class to begin on time.

  • If you are more than 10 minutes late to your reservation, the room is considered “open,” and anyone may use the room. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late to your reservation and someone else uses the room, you may not kick them out. If you are late to a 2-hour reservation, you forfeit the first hour and may return at the top of the second hour to claim the room. Faculty reservations are not subject to late rules. If a faculty member is late to a lesson/class/coaching, they may still claim the room. However, faculty may not claim a room without a reservation. 

  • You may not reserve an empty room by placing your personal items in it. For example, pianists may not reserve a room by simply leaving their music on the piano.

  • We recommend you do not leave valuables unattended in a practice room. Lost and Found is at the security desk as you enter the building. 

  • The only authorized teaching on campus is by faculty for registered students. Students are not allowed to use their practice time to teach privately.

  • No smoking or vaping.

  • Do not place food or beverages on the pianos, amps, drums, or audio cabinets. Do not leave trash in or on the pianos.

  • Windows must remain closed at all times.

  • Do not obstruct the windows of classrooms or practice rooms. For example, do not cover the door window with a coat, scarf, or paper towel.

There are always a handful of students who aren’t imported into the booking system for various reasons, i.e., registered late, started in the spring, had a hold, etc. These students need to email coparooms@newschool.edu with their degree program, year in school, and instrument (if applicable) to be given booking access manually.

Students should make daily reservations via https://coparooms.newschool.edu; however, we realize that sometimes there are special requests/issues. Please contact coparooms@newschool.edu if you need help.
