- Located in Room 360 on the 3rd floor
- In order to protect the privacy of those who are booking the Health Room, the School has set up 30-minute appointment slots which people can self-book using this calendar link. If someone needs to cancel a time slot, they just delete it from their own calendar and it will repopulate in the room calendar so someone else can book it.
- A QR code is posted on the door to the Health Room so anyone who forgets to book the room can easily scan the code on their phone and book the room on the go.
- The Health Room is professionally cleaned every evening. However, according to University policy, individual Brown Community members must take responsibility for promoting hygiene practices. To that end, we will provide disinfectant wipe for users.
