SETTING UP EXCHANGE RESOURCES
I have a similar feature setup at my location. The only difference I think is that we have a personnel from Human Resource dept. accepting requests:

You may want to consider setting up
those rooms as resources inExchange.

First, you'll want to set up a mailbox for each resource (i.e.,
conference room). Set the primary Windows NT account to the person
who'll be accepting requests on behalf of the resource. (If more than
one user needs this ability, add them under the Permissions tab for the
mailbox.) When someone schedules a meeting in Outlook, instruct that
individual to go to Attendee Availability | Invite Others. Here, he or
she can choose the required/optional attendees. In addition, users can
select the resource(s) they needed for the meeting. Just by clicking
OK, they can see which resources are available. Once the meeting is
submitted, the person in charge of the conference room can accept or
deny the request.

Whilescheduling conference rooms is the most common use for this
feature, you'll soon be adding projectors, white boards, and loaner
laptops to your shared resources lists.
