BioCenter Meeting Rooms

Last changed: 05 April 2022

1/7 2022 BioCenter will move the meeting rooms booking to Outlook. Thus joining the rest of SLU where this has been used for quite some time. Only people working at BioCenter have permissions to book the rooms. One of the perks is a better integration for video meetings, booking according to the guides below will enable a Join button on the touch panel in the VIDEO rooms, no need to enter that long Zoom ID anymore.

Here is a map of the rooms.

Video meetings

Today we have three rooms with video conferecing equipment: A332, A336 and A402. Later this year more rooms will get equipped.
In addition we have two mobile solutions that can be rolled to any room, these are suiteable for 4-5 people in a room. In the booking system they are available as "Ua BioC Mobile video conf (floor 3)" and "Ua BioC Mobile video conf (floor 4)" and are booked the same way as the rooms.
Guide for using mobile systems.
