The university facilities can be conveniently found in the map service as part of the MyJYU mobile application, or at https://navi.jyu.fi/. The fastest way to find and reserve available rooms is by using MyJYU's "Room Reservation" feature, but alternatively you can also search and reserve rooms through the map service and the reservation calendar linked to it.
Most searchable rooms can also be reserved by students for free when there are no other reservations. However, please remember to delete your reservation if you don't need it. The name and e-mail of the reservee are stored in the reservation information, but this information is only visible to the university staff.
