We offer 2 large, theatre style rooms for educational, admission-free film screening or classroom use:
About Booking
- Bookings are available weekdays from 9am-10pm. We will not be accepting weekend booking requests.
- Screening rooms are only available to U of T students, faculty and staff with an active TCard.
- Food and drink are not permitted in theatre or screening rooms.
- All events must be copyright compliant and for educational purposes.
Instructors may request single or recurring bookings, while students may only request single bookings for consideration. The theatre is reserved for classes and larger organized events. The screening room is available to smaller groups who require the use of a projector. Both rooms are intended for groups, we suggest that individuals use a study room (see below). Please request your booking at lease 3 business days in advance, same-day requests are unlikely to be approved. Booking durations are limited to 3 hours, longer bookings must be approved in advance by staff.
For classroom use, priority is given to film and media courses that require a cinema experience. Instructors who do not specifically require a movie theatre setting should contact ACE / Academic and Campus Events to make more appropriate arrangements.
Questions or concerns may be directed to media.commons@utoronto.ca.
