Schedule classrooms, labs and sports facilities

A department needs a seminar room every Tuesday, a student group needs a place to meet and a lab manager has a new request to review. When a booking changes, staff need to see which spaces are still free.

Choose a space, check real-time availability, and pick a time that works. See opening hours and available times in one place to help prevent double bookings.

Great for Managing a Shared Room We use Whatspot to manage a single room for meetings, lessons, and departmental functions, and it works exactly as we need. The free version is perfect for a shared space used by different groups, making it easy for everyone to see availability and book. No other free products offered the ease of use that Whatspot did.

Essential for Our School Our teachers use Whatspot to reserve rooms for meetings. Our student's use the app to check to see if a room is free for a spontaneous chill session. Our administration staff uses the app to reserve rooms for external customers, who rent our space after hours. The software has made it possible for us to begin renting out space after hours and helped keep us from going crazy during the day. With 240 students and 50 staff members, parent meetings and student activities, this tool isn't just helpful, its absolutely essential. We are happy to work with the Whatspot team, they are open to our feedback and doing a terrific job.

Room scheduling FAQs for schools and universities

How does room scheduling software work for schools and universities?

Add each classroom, lab, study room or sports facility as a bookable space. Staff and students can see available times for the spaces they have access to. Administrators set opening hours and decide which categories require approval.

Can external visitors book without an account?

Yes. You can publish availability and a booking flow for selected spaces without requiring visitors to create an account. Internal users can continue booking through their own accounts, and both flows stay in one calendar.

Can a university room booking system work alongside the academic timetable?

Yes. Use Whatspot for shared-space reservations such as study sessions, extra teaching, department meetings or club practice. Keep your academic timetable in its existing system. If your room calendars are in Microsoft or Google, check which calendars you can connect so staff can keep using their familiar tools.

Can teachers schedule the same classroom every week?

Yes. Set up a recurring room reservation for a regular seminar, lab session or workshop. If plans change, you can update one occurrence or the series.

Can invited groups book labs while outside groups request a hall?

Yes. Use private categories for specialist resources reserved for invited groups. Make a separate category public for a hall you share with outside groups. Visitors use a link or a website form and a manager reviews each public request before it is confirmed.

Can we manage campus sports facilities in the same booking system?

Yes. Add sports halls, courts and pitches as separate bookable spaces. Staff can schedule classes or recurring training, while outside groups can request selected facilities online. See sports facility booking software for the dedicated setup.

When is Google or Outlook Calendar not enough for shared-space booking?

Google or Outlook Calendar can work for straightforward scheduling. When several groups share spaces and visitors need to request time, a calendar alone may leave your team coordinating access, booking rules and approvals manually. Whatspot provides a booking flow for invited users and public requests, with space availability and control over confirmation. You can keep using connected Google and Outlook calendars alongside it. Read why Google or Microsoft Calendar may not be enough for room booking.
