Throughout the building, there are spaces available to meet the needs of groups affiliated with TCC, VBPL, City of Virginia Beach, and the general public. Some of these spaces require reservation, and we have a variety of technologies available to help facilitate meetings, interviews, programs, and events.
All non-conventional requests must be approved by the Director. Examples of conventional requests are study rooms, VBPL programming, library meetings, and standard meeting room use. Nonconventional requests would require use of public spaces in the building (A/V Crystal, Living Room, etc.) and/or the use of A/V technology.
Use the checklist below to help plan events and ensure adequate communication with relevant parties.
The multi-purpose meeting room is a single room divisible by a folding partition into two spaces. They are shared spaces for gatherings of the College Community, City staff, and the general public. These spaces will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The two meeting room(s) each hold up to 25 people (50 is the maximum capacity for the large space). Each has a teaching station with touchscreen, and two large TV monitors. There is a telecom system, and Webex video conferencing can be set up for TCC and VB meetings. The phone is for security and internal (TCC) calls only.
The three (3) Library Classrooms provide the venue for library instruction classes to support the academic programs of the college. The College shall have the sole responsibility of scheduling the Library Classrooms. However, the City may have access to the Library Classrooms to meet the lifelong learning needs of the general public on a not-to-interfere basis with the academic needs of the College.
