How to Order
- Make your room reservation using R25 on-line (Tufts University’s space reservation software at http://events.studentservices.tufts.edu/wv3) or by contacting the curator of the space directly if the room is not listed in R25.
- Function/meeting space at Tufts is very limited and access is competitive. Make your room
reservations several weeks or even months in advance of your planned event/meeting
date to increase your chances of obtaining an appropriate space.
