Newlin Room

The Newlin Room is a classroom/meeting space located on the main floor of Miller Library.

The Newlin Room, on the main floor of Miller Library, is used primarily for library instruction and as a space for student work and study.  With the recent addition of flexible seating, upgraded presentation technologies, and versatile power connectivity, we now offer it as a reservable space ideal for departmental or club meetings, board meetings, workshops, or individual class sessions.  Features of the room include:

  • Seating for up to 70, depending upon arrangement
  • Two Epson Smart Projectors
  • Two projection screens, which can be mirrored or used separately
  • A laptop cart with several PCs and Macs
  • The Owl camera to enhance hybrid meetings
  • Tables and chairs with locking wheels to provide flexibility of room arrangement

If you would like to reserve the room, please contact  Jennifer Nesbitt (jnesbitt2@washcoll.edu) or Kelly Banyas (kbanyas2@washcoll.edu.)  You must provide the department name and name of the meeting facilitator when making your reservation, along with any technological needs.

Please keep the following guidelines in mind: 

  • We are unable to accommodate scheduling of regular classes in the Newlin Room.
  • Library instructional classes will be prioritized over any other use of the space.
  • Start time for any event may not be earlier than 8:30 am during business days or 10:30 am on weekends.
  • Food and beverage service IS PERMITTED in this space.  The reserving group is responsible for arranging catering.
  • While it is located on the group study floor, volume must be kept at a reasonably low level (no live music, please.)
  • Furniture arrangement prior to the meeting is the responsibility of the department reserving the space; please factor this time into your reservation request.  We suggest allowing 15-30 minutes for setup before your meeting's start time.
  • Please leave the room as you found it, removing all extra materials and disposing of trash.
  • Please contact the Help Desk in advance for assistance with technology needs for your meeting.

Thank You!
