Outdoor Spaces

What is the difference between Internal, Sponsored and External events?
Internal Events are events that are clearly a WSU department or WSU student group event. These events may use a number of spaces at WSU free of charge, though fees may be applied for labor, A/V or cleaning associated with events. Sponsored Events are events that are co-sponsored or co-hosted between a WSU department and an external entity. These events are able to book space at the Innovation Partner rate. External Events are those events that do not meet the criteria for Internal or Sponsored Events. The external or non-profit/government rental rate will be charged accordingly. Read full policy

Do WSU Faculty, Staff or Innovation Partners get a discount?
Faculty, Staff or Innovation Partners can book at the Innovation Partner rate for personal use.

Are tables and chairs included in the rental?
UEMS can arrange the setup for events scheduled through our office. Our office provides tables, chairs, and other general equipment.

What AV equipment is available?
All rooms have a screen and hdmi ports. Events requiring audio visual equipment must contact Campus Media Services 7 business days prior to event start.

Can I bring in my own caterer and/or alcohol?
Choose catering from WSU Dining (Chartwells) or bring in a caterer of your choice. All food must come from a licensed caterer or be store-bought. Alcohol can be served on campus by licensed providers in designated buildings on campus contingent on an approved alcohol request form.

What other costs might be associated with my event?
Costs to consider include catering, AV, setup and cleaning. Your event coordinator will work with you to determine your event needs and notify you of expected costs.
