"Facilities Reservation System"

(UW Communication)

 

Faculty Advisor: Dr. Robert Dimsey

 

 

 

Abstract

The University of Washington Department of Communication Tech Team uses a facilities room reservation system. Using the web application, administrators can manage certain rooms in the Communications building. The application allows administrators to add, edit, or remove reservations, holidays, locations, and administrative users. Administrators can also use the application to approve or deny reservation requests. Through the web application, the public can view the schedule for a specific room in a calendar format, and also generate a print schedule of a specific week or of the regular events in the room for the quarter. UW affiliates have the ability to submit a room reservation request through the system.

A facilities reservation system currently exists, but it was originally created in 2005, and thus looks and feels outdated. There is also no documentation for the existing system, making it difficult to add features and redeploy. The department's tech team wanted to create a system that is more modern while having documentation to support future features and maintenance. The proposed system was created using the following tools that have documentation across the internet: Apache, Linux, MariaDB, Masonite, Python, and Shibboleth.

This project provides the UW Department of Communication Tech Team with a system that has modern interfaces, new features, and support for implementing new updates as needed.
