Is there a way to specify that a space is reservable for a date in the future?

Looking to see how we can define a space that is reservable, visible, but only allowing that space or types of space to reservable after a defined date.  The scenario is that we want staff to be able to begin making reservations for future dates, however those spaces will not be reservable until  a specific date in the future.   

 How would an administrator do space planning, building out all of the reservable spaces, indicate to staff that beginning May 15 (two weeks in the future) that space will be available for a reservation, so staff can submit a reservation for May 15th and beyond, but they cannot reserve that space prior to May 15th?

Chris, you are rock star.

All, the answer was staring me right in the face and Chris was able to show me the answer.   Using the "block location" feature (button) that is displayed on all spaces, areas, locations, and buildings, you can essentially take spaces offline due to maintenance etc. and when a user goes to make a reservation for a specific date, only those spaces that are reservable and do not have a block against them will be displayed to the end-user.  You can set these up for future dates and multiple blocks against space(s).

Very useful feature and does exactly what I was hoping to be available.
