Campus Event Planning

All campus space requests, including room reservations and event requests, must be submitted in 25Live while all tabling requests for the University and Balabanis Art Quads should be submitted via the Promotional Materials & Tabling Request Form.

25Live serves as a one-stop shop for campus space requests (excluding tabling). By completing the form and selecting any needed services or equipment in the “Event Resources” section, your request will automatically route to the appropriate campus partners, including: Facilities Management, ITS, Cashiers, Catering, Parking, Conference & Event Services (CES), Risk Management, and University Police.
