ITaP Training Room reservations

Reserving the ITaP Training Room in Freehafer

ITaP maintains a 20-workstation computer training room on the second floor of Freehafer Hall, at 401 South Grant Street, West Lafayette. When not in use for ITaP training, it is available to Purdue groups to reserve for departmental computer training.

Reservations may be made for six months at a time. Scheduling in advance will be helpful to meet the largest number of needs. Strategic projects or other high priority training may necessitate moving scheduled courses to other locations. Every attempt will be made to cause as little disruption as possible.

Please notify us as soon as possible when canceling a reservation, so we can make the room available to others.

To reserve or cancel reservations for the ITaP Freehafer Training Room contact: Administrative Education. The manager of the group will respond to your request.
