Burling Second-Floor Classroom
The Burling second-floor classroom may be used for single classes, for semester-long courses, or for larger meetings. The classroom is set up like many of the Humanities and Social Studies Center classrooms with a teaching table connection panel located on the instructor’s podium/desk. It currently includes 12 mobile tables seating 2 people each, 2 large monitors equipped with Airtame screen-sharing software, a Blu-ray DVD player, a document camera, and, upon request, a multi-region DVD player available for checkout at the Burling Circulation Desk.
For reservations for single sessions (classes and meetings), send a request to classroom reservations or contact Sharon Clayton, administrative assistant to the librarian (641-269-3351). Please include the time and date, course number, and instructor name in your request.
To schedule the classroom for semester-long courses, contact the registrar. The fall semester, Tuesday–Thursday 8–9:50 a.m. time block is not available for semester-long courses, as it is reserved for research literacy instruction for Tutorial.

For AV questions or problems, ITS asks that faculty please contact them at 641-269-4901 or ITservices@Grinnell.edu.
Faculty are responsible for managing logistics for their class, including setup/cleanup/audiovisual/troubleshooting. The libraries are not staffed to support faculty’s classes.
