In addition to the Trust Center faculty and staff, we welcome MIT students and clubs working on entrepreneurship-related activities to use our room reservation system to book meetings. (If you are affiliated with MIT but not a student and wish to inquire about reserving a space, please contact us.)

Current MIT students may request to have ID card access to the Trust Center in E40-160 beyond our normal school-year operating hours (Mon-Fri 8:00 am – 8:00pm). Please allow 3-5 business days for your access request to be processed and ID card to be activated.

• Will your meeting occur before 8:00am, after 8:00pm, or at any time on a weekend or Institute holiday? Our doors are locked during those times, so if you will need the door unlocked, please request access at least one day in advance.
• Will you have a phone or video call? Please add 15 minutes before and after your reservation for setup and spillover time.
• Will you be hosting an event? Please add sufficient setup and breakdown time to your reservation. We recommend 30 minutes before and after. Be sure to connect with Trust Center staff to discuss your needs and our guidelines.
• Will you be using 175 & 175A (Testa South and North) as one meeting room?
  • Add 30 minutes to the beginning and to the end of your reservation for setup and breakdown time.
  • Add the phrase “wall open” to the “Purpose” line of your reservation.
  • If any part of your reservation takes place after 5:00 pm or before 9:00 am (including setup/breakdown time), or on a weekend or Institute holiday, please email trustcenter@mit.edu so we can ensure the wall between the rooms is opened and closed as needed.
• Will you have food delivered? Food is not allowed at this time due to COVID policies.

PLEASE NOTE: All room reservations come with the understanding that you will leave the room as you found it — clean and in order and with all desks, chairs, or other materials returned to how they were set up at the start of your reservation. Thank you.
