There are several ways to book rooms at the University of Edinburgh. Staff, students and external bookingsIf you need to book centrally and locally managed rooms please visit the Timetabling website. Registry Services - Timetabling Staff meeting rooms From August 2026, all suitable meeting rooms across campus will be available to book through Outlook and EventMap. Booking meeting rooms in Outlook using Room Finder To ensure the best experience when finding and booking meeting rooms, we recommend using Room Finder rather than relying on the search function alone. Outlook does not search rooms in the same way as a search engine, and typing common terms such as room names, building names, "meeting room", or capacity information may only return a limited number of results, even when suitable rooms are available. For the most reliable results, open Room Finder, select the relevant building (Room List) first, and then browse the available rooms. Room Finder will display room availability, helping you identify suitable spaces that are free at your chosen meeting time, and may also show room capacity information to help you select a room that is appropriate for the number of attendees. Following this approach will ensure you can view all available rooms within a building. Guidance document This article was published on Monday 27 July 2026
