Video conference rooms

UVic has 4 dedicated video conference rooms in the Clearihue building. There are several layouts available with up to 32 seats. They're perfect for small and medium-size meetings with both in-person and remote attendees.

We can also host online events (with just 1 or 2 in-person attendees) like town halls that require professional sound and video quality.

If the B wing elevator is unavailable, you can also access the B wing basement from the elevator in the C wing foyer closest to B wing.

We recognise that these features can sometimes create accessibility barriers. If you have any concerns or requests, please contact us.

We'll do our best to accommodate any accessibility needs. Resources can be limited, but if we can't meet requests, we will do our best to change that in the future.

  • We'll email you to confirm your booking or if we need more information.
  • We can sometimes accommodate bookings outside of our regular business hours. We consider them on a case-by-case basis, but may charge for support staff.
