Lab Spaces and Scheduling

CBDR maintains two lab spaces on and off CMU's campus, including:

• Lab space at 300 S Craig Street Room 161
• The Tepper Quad Behavioral Lab on the ground floor of the Tepper Quad

Both lab spaces may be reserved and used by affiliates of the center. Please find the scheduling information, usage policies, and descriptions of the labs below.

Accessing the Labs

Both labs are only accessible by approved CMU ID cards. ID cards should be used only by the person whose name is on the card. If your ID card is lost or stolen, please report this immediately.

Lab Scheduling

At this time, both CBDR labs are booked using shared Google Calendars and reservations are required inorder to use either space.

To gain access to the calendars, email the lab manager with your CMU email address. 

CBDR lab spaces are shared spaces, so please only reserve times when you plan to physically be in the lab for preparation, running participants, and/or cleanup. Everyone with access to the calendar is able to create and delete events, and it is expected that researchers will only edit their own events. The Center and lab manager maintain the right to restrict scheduling if researchers are found monopolizing labs or editing others' reservations.

When you reserve lab space on a shared CBDR Google calendar, first, make sure you are viewing the correct calendar! For the event, please include:

1. In the event title, the name of the researcher and the name of the project/study (used on internal reporting)
2. In the event description, include the name, email address, and phone number of the researcher who may be contacted about the reservation 
3. The dates and hours during which you need the lab to be reserved for your use, including time to set up and clean up. Please do not use "all-day" events. If you no longer need a reservation that you have scheduled, please be sure to remove it from the calendar so that others know the space is available. 

Do not Leave the Lab Unattended

The lab must not be left open or unattended by the person(s) responsible for the reservation. If students or participants are present, the responsible party must remain in the lab.

Clean-Up Guidelines

Users of CBDR labs are responsible for leaving spaces tidy for others. As such, at the end of your reservations, please remove all personal items, return any moved furniture to its original location, empty trash cans if they are full, and clean any trash from floors or surfaces. Please be sure to turn of all lights before you leave. 

Storing Materials in the Labs

Researchers are permitted to store a limited amount of experimental supplies and documents in the labs, provided it is clearly labeled with the experimenter's name and contact information, as well as a date by which it will be removed from the lab. Without these labels, anything left in the lab may be disposed of at any time without notice. 

When you are finished running your study, please remove all supplies, documents, and compensation from the labs. Please do not plan to leave anything (e.g., signed informed consent forms) in the lab spaces with explicit permission from the lab manager.
