CSE conference rooms and event spaces

The College of Science and Engineering has conference space available for reservations in three buildings: Walter Library, Keller Hall, and Lind Hall. 

University units may reserve CSE conference space free of charge for University events only. CSE conference spaces are not available for rent to external groups. To maintain policy compliance, University departments, faculty, staff and students, are prohibited from booking these rooms for third-party use.

Conference rooms and event spaces listed below are available to book Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (excluding University holidays/closings). Weekend reservations are not available.

Please be aware that all rooms are provided in "as in" condition. To keep our spaces functional for everyone, please note the following:

  • Buffer time: When booking, remember to include extra time for your own set up and clean-up needs.
  • No event support: The CSE Dean's Office does not provide event staffing, furniture moving, extra tables, or technical support. If your event requires a specific lay out or additional tables, your group is responsible for coordinating these logistics.
  • Room Restoration: You must return the room to its standard layout at the end of your reservation time. This includes returning all chairs and tables to their original positions.

Reservations may be made six months out from the current date. Please note that, on rare occasions CSE Dean’s Office Administration may exercise the right to cancel or deny room reservations.
