Booking a Space at Brooks Community Center
To book a space at the Brooks Community Center please submit a facility request through Facilitron, a new online facility request and rental system designed to provide a positive user experience for all. With the new system, reservation requests can be submitted easily and will be handled more efficiently. Renters will be able to access photos and descriptions, see real-time availability, get estimated quotes and pay online. Submit a Facilitron request
Although the process of requesting/approval/management of facility use is now digital, what’s implemented on Facilitron, remains the same as dictated by Roosevelt School District board policies on facility use. The district’s administrative staff makes final decisions on all facility use requests.
- Facilitron will assist with the set-up of organization and user accounts along with verification of non-profit status (if applicable).
- Facilitron will also collect payment and proof of insurance (certificate of insurance) on Roosevelt School District’s behalf.
- Payments can be submitted conveniently on Facilitron. Payment options include major credit cards, checks, ACH/eCheck, and Paypal.
- Proof of insurance (certificate of insurance) can also be conveniently uploaded into the system, and/or it can be obtained directly through Facilitron.
The new Facilitron system is now live for all sites. Moving forward, the only way to request use of a district facility is by creating a Facilitron account and submitting a request online.
If you need any assistance setting up an account and/or in submitting a facility use request, you can contact Facilitron:
