Non-university events

The Division of Finance & Administration schedules all facilites for non-official, non-university purposes. These facilities may be rented for private events by current and retired Colgate faculty, staff, employees and alumni.
Colgate facilities may not be used for fund-raising or political purposes. Colgate may however, allow volunteer, non-profit public service organizations which render a recognized public service to the university or university community to use its facilities.

Summer events and weddings may not be scheduled earlier than one week following Reunion weekend in early June and no later then two weeks prior to the arrival of first-year students in late August. Events may be scheduled on semester breaks, but not on holiday weekends.

The university's academic and summer programs have priority use of all facilities at all times.  Summer facility reservation may be cancelled if they conflict with these programs.

If you are interested in hosting an event on campus contact Maureen McKinnon at mmckinnon@mail.colgate.edu or extension 7422. Requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis in accordance with the guidelines above. There is no room fee for scheduling a university-related event.  A buildings and grounds or custodial fee may apply for setup or cleanup of the facility.  

The work order can be completed using the web-based FAMIS work order system (contact Amy Davidson for details) and should be transmitted two weeks prior to the event when possible.

If you have questions regarding completing a work order, please contact Amy Davidson at extension 7130.
