Room Usage Policy
Facility Usage Guidelines for Non-Academic Spaces
Purpose:
To provide uniform guidelines for the usage of various non-academic university facilities for meetings, presentations, receptions and meals during the academic year. The non-academic spaces enumerated below should not be scheduled for regular classes, with the exception of Noble Center; occasional use for a class is acceptable but not regular use. Regular use by a particular group for meetings will be discouraged as well. The intention is to allow these spaces to be flexible and available for a wide variety of constituencies. Because the furnishings of these spaces are meant to provide a comfortable atmosphere, the appropriate usage will be determined by those who schedule the spaces.
Space will be reserved as long as it does not interrupt the academic and educational mission of the University. Outside conference groups must be sponsored by a member of the SLU community who is intimately involved in the conception of and participates in the execution of the program, and approval must be obtained from the sponsor’s vice-presidential level division head. The program must also fit the educational mission of the University—either for academic or community relations purposes. There is a $150 room usage fee per room, per day. Eben Holden $450 per day.
All rooms, unless otherwise noted, should be reserved through Conference Services - Room Reservations at 229-5995 or roomres@stlawu.edu.
