CitySpace Reservation Process
The CitySpace Manager is available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 9am- noon.  The following steps should be taken by groups or individuals wishing to reserve the meeting room:

1) Check room availability using the Google calendar feature on this page. Click on the event name to view an event's duration. Please note that the reservation time includes set up and clean up and may not reflect the actual start and finish time of an event.  If the date you wish to reserve is open, email a completed registration form to cityspace@cvilledesign.org.

2) Read and sign a user agreement & return to CCDC with a $100 refundable event deposit (click here to review our guidelines for a full refund of your event deposit). Reservations will not be confirmed until CCDC receives a completed registration form, signed user agreement and event deposit.  The room fee is due no later than the day of your event. Deposit & room fee must be paid by check only, made out to CCDC (separate checks for deposit and room fee preferred). Deposits may be kept on file for up to a year to be applied to future events.

3) Those using the space for the first time are required to come in for a brief orientation in advance of the day of the event. Once you have received an email confirming your reservation, please contact CCDC at cityspace@cvilledesign.org to schedule a time to come in for an orientation during regular business hours. For after hours and weekend reservations, a key can be picked up at the time of the orientation.

4) Key must be returned to CCDC within 2 business days and rooms and equipment left in an acceptable condition for a full refund of the event deposit.
