When to Use: AD Astra is used by faculty and staff to request and reserve classrooms, labs, and conference rooms for classes, meetings, and special events. It helps ensure that spaces are scheduled efficiently and without conflicts. Faculty and staff can submit room requests through the system and view availability in real time.
