Outdoor Space

There are a number of outdoor spaces on campus that RSOs may reserve to set up information tables, program, and promote their activities and organizations. Review the policies and procedures. 

For outdoor spaces the Facilities Management support team provides custodial, landscape, and maintenance services for events taking place on the university campus. In addition to the form required by the Bernhard Center, please note Facilities Management also has a mandatory facility event service request form to determine the required level of support and any associated costs.

All requests should be submitted at least 5 business days prior to the date of the event.
