External Event Price Estimator

The space and equipment price lists on the following pages help you to estimate the costs of your event. All prices discussed before an event are officially estimates in case last minute changes or unanticipated cleaning requires additional fees. The Events Office reserves the right to require extra services at events, for example extra trash cans or security personnel, that will be billed to the group hosting the event.

All costs are calculated per space or item used, per day. Standard operating hours are 7:30am to 5:00pm, Monday – Friday, excluding holidays. Events that go past 5:00pm on weekdays will be charged night time rates.

All rooms and equipment are subject to availability.
