Use and Scheduling

• The facility is intended to be used primarily as a performance space (i.e. not as a rehearsal hall); acoustic performances, dance or theatrical presentations requiring minimal scenery, guest lecturers or other activities which would benefit from an intimate, formal surrounding.
• Hall Auditorium is an acoustical auditorium. As such, events which require sound amplification are strongly discouraged from performing there.
• The facility is not to be used for regularly scheduled academic activities as these could conflict with the performance mission.
• Scheduling of the facility based on guidelines 1 and 2 will be handled by the Office of Special Facilities.
• The Office of Special Facilities reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of any request for use of the facility.

• Events for which the expected attendance is over 300 shall be required to conform to the Occupancy Policy.
• All lighting and sound needs must be approved in advance by the Office of Special Facilities. Due to staffing and equipment considerations, it may be difficult to honor last minute changes or requests.
• The operation of all building systems (lighting, sound, projection, stage lift, etc.) is restricted to the trained operations staff.
• There will be no unsupervised use of the auditorium. The building staff will be present and on duty during all times the auditorium is open (rehearsals, performances, lectures, etc.) to any group.
• Rehearsals for any event will be limited to one additional day in the auditorium.
• Non-university groups will be required to pay a facility rental fee to be determined by the Vice President of Business and Finance.
