Internal Room Bookings

COVID-19 Contact Tracing

From the 19th July 2021, the University will be applying a ‘Check In Qld QR Code’ to all meeting rooms and teaching spaces across all campuses.

Staff and students will be required to download the ‘Check In Qld App’ and check-in to all locations that display the ‘Check In Qld QR Code’.

For more information about the ‘Check In Qld App’, visit the Queensland Government website via the following link:

Queensland Government Check In App

Staff booking a room will be considered the host of that booking.

The host will be required to ensure all attendees have checked in via the ‘Check In Qld App’. All people should continue to observe physical distancing to the extent possible, regular washing of hands and avoiding handshaking.

If staff are booking a room on behalf of another staff member, please advise the JCU Timetable Team the host name and contact details for that booking. Not all meeting rooms contain cleaning products so staff may choose to bring their own. Meeting rooms will be cleaned in accordance with the normal cleaning routine. Cleaning of small local administrative rooms such as break out rooms will be the responsibility of that unit.

Internal Room Bookings (Staff)

JCU Staff should refer to the Room Booking Guide and Room Booking Principles for all non-teaching ad hoc bookings of meeting rooms and common teaching rooms.

Prior to making a room booking, please review the Live Timetable and the Bookable Locations TP2 for room availability.

Staff are able to view bookable locations via the JCU Room Viewer tool.

All teaching activities must be timetabled through JCU Timetable Representatives via your Academic Services Teams.

Internal Room Bookings (Students)

Students who wish to book a bookable location on one of JCU Campus's, need to do so through their Colleges or through the JCU Student Association if they're affiliated. Room booking requests for students are not to be sent directly to the JCU Timetable Team for action.

About Central Plaza

Central Plaza is an open public space that will connect The Science Place, the future Townsville Innovation Complex, and other areas of the campus.

The Plaza is the centrepiece of a network of public spaces reshaping the Bebegu Yumba Campus.

The Plaza features a distinctive curved roof design that appears to change shape when viewed from different perspectives, with the underside of the canopy featuring a giant artwork.
