CORD Room Reservations
Welcome to The Cordia Harrington Center for Excellence (The CORD). We are here to provide support to students, faculty, and staff of the University of Arkansas. If you are looking to reserve a room for your next University or University-affiliated meeting please read our guidelines and make a reservation below.
Reservation Guidelines
- The priority of CORD rooms shall be to support student success and the mission of
the University of Arkansas. Third priority meetings are generally not scheduled until
after the second week of classes to allow classrooms and programs to finalize room
schedules. General use priorities are as follows:
- First priority: UNIV and SI classrooms
- Second Priority: CORD departmental and student programs
- Third priority: University related meetings
- There is no fee to use meeting rooms available in The CORD.

- The CORD is an academic building. There is no on-site staff to assist with set-up or tear-down. Not all classroom spaces are able to accommodate meetings that will involve food or other activities that could cause damage to the rooms.
