CitySpace Reservation Process
The following steps should be taken by groups or individuals wishing to reserve the meeting room:

1) Check room availability using the Google calendar feature on this page. Click on the event name to view an event's duration.
2) If the date you wish to reserve is open, complete a registration form, read and sign user agreement, & return to CCDC with a $100 refundable event deposit and room fee. Reservation forms may be emailed to info@cvilledesign.org; checks and user agreements can be mailed or dropped off at CCDC. Room reservations will not be confirmed until CCDC receives a completed copy of the registration form, signed user agreement, event deposit, and room fee. Deposit & room fee must be paid by check only (separate checks for deposit and room fee preferred). Checks can be made out to CCDC. User agreements and deposits must be renewed on an annual basis.
3) Visit CCDC at least 24 hours prior to event for a brief orientation to the room & to pick up key to space (for after hours meetings only).  Those using the AV system for the first time are required to schedule an orientation to the AV system before the day of the event. This can be conducted on the same day as the room orientation.
4) Key must be returned to CCDC within 2 business days and rooms and equipment left in an acceptable condition for a full refund of the event deposit.
