Inclusive and equitable booking process for glasshouses, growth chambers and environmental rooms are described below:
| JANUARY CYCLE | JULY CYCLE | |
| Jan 8 | Jul 8 | We will send a call to submit space requests through Growth Facilities listserv. Applications can be submitted online as soon as the call is received. Maximum booking time remains one year. |
| Jan 8 to 31 | Jul 8 to 31 | Space request submissions with reservation start dates in April to August 2024. The application form is available at Bookitlab > Reservations > Growth Facilities Space Request |
| Feb 1 to Mar 15 | Aug 1 to Sep 15 | All space requests will be reviewed simultaneously. Multiple requests for one chamber will be resolved through discussion among the involved parties. If this remains unresolved, we will assign space using a random draw picker. Back-to-back requests for the same space may take a lower priority. Another user’s request will be prioritized. |
