How do I request multiple/repetitive reservations?
This is done during the event request process in Astra.
Event requests have two parts: the Event and the Meeting(s) for that event. This allows recurring meetings, multiple meetings, or events that need to use several rooms at a time to be scheduled all at once.

Why can't I just call and make a reservation?
