Zachry Event Management System
The Zachry Event Management System (EMS) allows faculty, staff and students from the Texas A&M College of Engineering to book space in the Zachry building for study sessions, meetings, events, etc. The reservation website can be accessed any time, from anywhere, both inside and outside the campus firewall, and on your mobile devices.
Please note that occupancy guidelines due to COVID-19 restrictions have affected the space available in Zachry during the fall 2020 semester, including those spaces that did not previously require a reservation, such as the soft seating areas throughout the building and the Learning Stairs. The reservation changes are reflected in the EMS.
For instructions on how to use the Zachry Event Management System to book spaces, please see our Quick Reference Guide.
