Check space availability

Is your favourite spot free? Now you can find out in real time.

During the exam period, it’s especially useful to know in advance which locations are likely to be the least busy. With Officebooking, you get a clear overview of all available study spaces within the UvA. You also need this tool to reserve a study booth or project room. We recommend installing the Officebooking app on your phone.

For the most up-to-date opening times, please visit the study spaces page.
