There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The Department of Capital Planning & Space Management (CPSM) is on a mission to make reserving space on campus more efficient for those planning events and activities. The new scheduling system recently implemented in the CPSM Department is the Event Management System (EMS), now known on campus as GT Events.
EMS is not new to campus; it has been used for several years by three departments. By partnering with these departments, CPSM was able to negotiate an upgrade of the system. This includes offering scheduling software, free of charge, to any department that would like to use the system.
The goal of CPSM is for GT Events to become the go-to source for event scheduling, enabling users to locate classrooms, conference rooms, and meeting space in more areas of campus. This will also help to make the reservation process more effective.
CPSM is holding one-hour classroom sessions to inform and train users on this new system. Departments may also request individualized sessions by contacting Beverly Peace.
