Special Events Requiring Room Rental Fee
A group has the option of going to the Memorial Union where the facilities are
free to recognized University organizations,
or going to the Scheman Building
where the rental fees will be determined by the staff working with the group.
-
General university auditorium rental starts at $220 ($280 for all day - any events more than 4 hours), and smaller
classrooms start at $70 ($100 for all day - any events more than 4 hours) for University organizations and special event
groups. Only as a last resort will closed buildings be opened and rental rates will apply.
The rates listed are as of January 2010 and are subject to change.
Rental rates for campus facilities cover costs for room maintenance.
- Custodial and ITS charges are determined by these units and groups will be billed by them for services provided.
- If a registered organization is conducting a meeting,
educational seminar or a performing arts event where no admission will be
charged, the event will be placed in an open room that meets their specific
event needs. If the rooms that are usually open are unavailable, the group will
be placed in an alternate room based upon the event and room needs.
- If a registered organization is conducting a meeting,
educational seminar or a performing arts event where admission will be charged,
a room rental fee would be applied, even if the room is usually open for
evening scheduling. An intramural needs to be signed by the Auditor and then by
Room Scheduling to complete the room reservation.
- Groups will be held responsible for the actions of
their guests. If there are damages to the facilities, the group will be held
responsible for the expenses for repair or cleanup. The group will not be held
responsible if the Department of Public Safety investigation finds no evidence
to charge the group. When using a facility, the group is also responsible for
the hallways, entrance and exit areas, bathrooms, windows and doors of that
building.
- It is the policy of Iowa State University to permit
solicitation in university buildings and on university property only by
registered university organizations. For more detailed information please refer
to the Student Information Handbook.
- Groups wanting to use media and needing technical support or training in the classrooms or
auditoriums need to contact ITS Classroom Support, 294-8026 or roomhelp@iastate.edu.
Media equipment users may not disconnect or alter any media equipment wiring. The group will be held responsible for the expenses for maintenance, repair, or rewiring equipment resulting from such activity.
