Ways to Request Space
Norris has a new reservation software.
Mazevo
Mazevo (mah-zay-voe) is Greek for "gather"!
It is a comprehensive event scheduling system, founded by industry veterans with nearly 100 years of combined scheduling experience. Cloud-based and PC/Mac/tablet/mobile friendly, the platform dramatically simplifies the scheduling process for both the event host and the staff coordinating logistics on the backend.
Please be advised that Mazevo reservations are for Northwestern University recognized student organizations, faculty, and staff only.
The booking request system can be accessed here: https://mymazevo.com/login
Click "Add New Request" and follow the prompts to schedule an event or reserve a space.
NOTE: Users must be assigned to an organization in order to make a request. If you receive an error "You are not configured properly for submitting requests." contact jason.harber@northwestern.edu to be added to an organization.
Log into the application with your Northwestern University email and password. If you are receiving a single sign on (SSO) error or if you have any questions, please contact jason.harber@northwestern.edu for assistance.
Important Information
Requests for meetings or events need to be submitted at least 10 business days prior to the event. Contact Norris Event Planning directly for requests within the 10 business day deadline or for any spaces not reservable online. norris-events@northwestern.edu
