Architecture Library

The CCNY Spitzer School of Architecture provides laptops and A/V equipment for current architecture students, faculty, and staff via the SSA Reservation Desk (Room 102). Equipment and space requests can be made through an online booking system. Laptops are internally equipped with WiFi for use where wireless access exists. All laptops are loaded with the architectural software that is currently installed in SSA Computer labs: 37 software, and 13 Rhino Plugins. Library staff are NOT IT technicians, and will not provide any technical support at time of checkout. For IT support, contact Architecture IT at 212-650-7534 or ssareservation@ccny.cuny.edu.

Reserving Equipment Guidelines

Please understand that the SSA Reservation Desk staff may require that you show a valid CCNY ID to have equipment released to you.

  • Reservations for equipment are made on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Faculty and students are responsible for the safety and security of equipment loaned out to them from the SSA Reservation Desk.
  • Equipment reserved must be signed out, picked up, and returned by patrons.
  • Equipment will be released to students only with prior faculty approval via email.
  • Equipment not picked up within 15 minutes of the reserve time will be released.
  • If you know that you will not need to use the equipment, please contact us immediately so that we may cancel your request. This will allow us to make the equipment available to other patrons.
  • It is critical that you return the equipment to us by the promised date and time. If you cannot do so, please make every reasonable effort to contact the SSA Reservation Desk, as soon as possible. If the held items are available, the loan period may be extended. Failure to return equipment on time when needed by another patron is detrimental to both the operation of SSA Reservation Desk and the school overall.

For any questions you may have, please contact ArchIT at ssareservation@ccny.cuny.edu or 212-650-7534.

The guidelines above are written in the ArchIT Student Handbook. For more information, access the handbook here.
