Reservation Policy

The Special Events room is available for use during hours when McKeldin Library is open.  Events that will end after the library closes are not permitted.  Only library groups may reserve the room on weekends.

Priority is given to library groups. All other campus groups requesting to use this room must be affiliated with a UMD academic or administrative unit.

Student groups must also fill out an internal service request (ISR), and submit a hard copy of the ISR to the Dean's Office within 5 business days of requesting a reservation.

The room is designed for special events such as talks, workshops, and receptions. It is not available for recurring classes.

No events will be scheduled starting after 5pm. No event support (including IT assistance) will be available for events running past 5pm. Groups reserving the room past 5pm will be required to shut down all AV equipment and lock the room. If equipment is not shut down or room is not secured, groups will be liable and charged for any damages/missing equipment.

There are charges for room setup and equipment use in the Special Events Room.  Please see the links to the left for information on charges for room configurations and equipment.

Food is permitted in the room. Event liaisons (i.e. organizers) are expected to clean up after their event, put all refuse in the trash bins, and return the room to its original state. Food deliveries should be brought in via the McKeldin Library loading dock and the freight elevators. The loading dock is open 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. NOTE: If a Friday event includes food, the refuse must be removed from the room and taken down to the loading dock dumpsters.
