Reserve a Room
- Contact the Lab’s events manager (clo_events@cornell.edu or 607-254-2466) to see if the particular space you want is available for the date and time you’d like to rent it.
- If it is available, and the room features and rental price fit your needs, a tentative reservation can be made for you. The events manager will collect information from you about your event, including (but not limited to) the particular rooms you want, the start and end time of the event, the number of people you expect, and what of our audio-visual equipment you may want to use.
- If you want to have food and/or alcohol at your event, view the list from which you may choose a Cornell-approved caterer. (See list at http://www.risk.cornell.edu/catererlist.asp)
- Make arrangements with the caterer you’ve chosen (you’ll need to arrange for rental of round tables, chairs, etc. for the event through your caterer, or directly with a private company, if such items are needed).
- When all necessary information (including which caterer you’re using) has been supplied to the Lab, we’ll send you a Space Rental Agreement to sign and send back to us with your payment.
- Fill out an online form, “Cornell Use of University Property"—far enough in advance of your event (we recommend two weeks or more) to insure that all necessary Cornell staff have signed the form before your event takes place.
- Full Lab Rental Policy and Procedures: Carefully read our Lab Rental Policy document. There are additional Lab policies with regard to renting here that you need to know about before scheduling your event (set-up and clean-up of your event, the hours and days that the facility is available for rentals, security procedures, and so forth); download the Lab rental info packet PDF for complete information.
