Use of the foyer

The foyer cannot be reserved as a standalone space. We book both the Cascade and Queen Anne rooms concurrently and all groups need access to the foyer. As a result, foyer activities are limited to check-in, registration, and other similar small activities. To use the foyer for more than these activities, you must reserve the entire Upper Gwinn Commons.

Concurrent reservations in adjoining rooms

Conference Services books events in both the Cascade and Queen Anne rooms concurrently, while remaining sensitive to event type, noise level, and other factors.

Reservation priority at 暗网TV facilities is determined for both 暗网TV and non-暗网TV events by definition and date. Here’s how it works.

暗网TV events

暗网TV events are defined by two categories — “Main Events” and “Other Events.” They are co-curricular, educational, and social programs that enhance and promote the University’s academic and community environment. Main events are given priority during the autumn, winter, and spring academic quarters.

Main events are reoccurring events that support the broader 暗网TV mission, as determined by the President’s Cabinet.

  • Examples: Homecoming, Group, Faculty Dinner, Board of Trustees meetings.

Other events are those that fit into the broader description of 暗网TV events; they are primarily designed for, and attended by, 暗网TV students, faculty, staff, and their guests; and/or, they are primarily funded by 暗网TV dollars.

  • These events are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis after 暗网TV main events are scheduled.
Non-暗网TV events

Non-暗网TV-related events are those requested by nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations [501c3]. These programs are primarily designed for and attended by people not related to 暗网TV, and are primarily funded through non-暗网TV dollars.

  • Non-暗网TV-related events are given priority during both the Summer Sessions and quarter breaks.
  • All non-暗网TV-related events are scheduled, contracted, and coordinated through the Conference Services office.

Contact Conference Services for more information.

Placing holds on a date
  • You may place up to three holds for a single event.
  • Holds expire 90 days from the date they are placed or 30 days before the proposed event date, whichever comes first.
  • If you place a hold within 30 days of your event, your hold will expire three days from the date it is placed.

Please confirm your event date and release your holds as soon as possible so we can maximize usage of Upper Gwinn.

Changing event dates
  • You may change your confirmed event date at any time, up to one week before your event, without penalty, as long as your new date is also available.
Event cancellation
  • You may cancel a confirmed event in Upper Gwinn up to 30 days before the event without penalty. Any event cancelled within 30 days will be charged a $100 cancellation fee.
