Priority is given first to Carlson School, then University of Minnesota educational activities. After academic needs are met, spaces may be used for events and programs sponsored by University colleges, departments, or registered student groups affiliated with the Carlson School. The third priority is usage by non-University entities whose activities are consistent or complement the mission of the University.

Carlson School and Hanson Hall spaces cannot be used for events or activities that are primarily commercial, political, involve gambling, or are religious in nature. Fundraising or selling of products that benefit organizations outside the University and its recognized foundations is not allowed. The School reserves the right to review proposed activities and refuse rental for non-permissible uses.

Carlson-controlled, departmental spaces listed on this site are not scheduled weekends or evenings unless the event is sponsored by a Carlson School department, or affiliated student organization with staff supervision, or approved by the Dean's Office.

Authorized Users are responsible for event supervision during the facility rental/usage period and assume financial liability for any additional custodial services, equipment, damages to rooms and any damage or loss of equipment. Large-scale events may require additional security (U Police or Security Monitor for example) to be contracted for the duration of the event.

Amplified music/sound equipment is not allowed in the atrium or classrooms without prior approval from the Dean's Office. Most spaces are surrounded by areas dedicated to studying or working (breakout rooms, labs and offices) and music/amplified sound is distracting to many students, faculty and staff who expect a quiet area to study and work.

Rooms and spaces are inspected prior to and after each event. Users are responsible for following room security guidelines for their space, removal of additional equipment or food services and any damage that occurs during usage.

Outside standard building hours, rooms are locked unless they have been reserved through the Office of Classroom Management or Carlson School Building Services. The Security Monitor is authorized to ask that rooms be vacated if User cannot provide documentation of reservation confirmation.

Any additional furniture or equipment must be provided by the User and promptly removed at the conclusion of the rental period. Under no circumstances is furniture to be removed from adjacent areas. Seating/chairs may not be added to exceed stated classroom capacity. Tables or equipment cannot be placed close to entrances blocking access. All fire lanes must remain clear.

Users are responsible for resetting classrooms for the next class (desks/chairs in rows facing the front of the room). If groups neglect to reset the room, or remove any equipment or supplies brought in for their event (this includes disposal of catering refuse), additional service fees may be charged.

CSOM Executive Center Classrooms 2-206, 2-207 and 2-260T are equipped with H.323 (IP) videoconference CODECS and MediaSite live stream and archival recording. Rooms are equipped with motion tracking camera systems for instructor and students. At the student tables, push-to-talk microphones tie into student view cameras located at the front of the room. There is one lapel microphone for the instructor. Additional fees apply.

CSOM Executive Center Classrooms 2-260R and 2-260Z are equipped with MediaSite live stream and archival recording.  Rooms are equipped with motion tracking camera system for instructor only, but do not have video or audio capture for the students. There is one lapel microphone for the instructor. Additional fees apply.

Users are responsible for providing any audiovisual equipment not included in the space. Contacts include Carlson AV Services at 612-626-7756, HHI Events at 612-626-3501, and University Classroom Technical Services at 612-626-1411.

Users are responsible for receiving equipment and directing set-up within the reservation time. Please contact the North-West District Zone Administrator (for West Bank) at Facilities Management at 624-2900 to confirm access through the loading dock door if outside standard building hours, or contact the Building Manager at 624-3842 with specific questions or to check out a parking permit for short-term use. The loading dock is located at the east end of the building (off Fourth Street). The Carlson School does not have accept deliveries or store program materials on site unless approved by a Building Services Manager.

Food may be set up in Carlson-controlled, departmental spaces. If a space is reserved for "staging, users are responsible for providing appropriate floor coverings to protect the carpet. Users will be charged extra if additional custodial services are required to clean the carpet due to lack of proper protection. No food can be brought from off campus for "open distribution" without a Food Permit approved by Environmental Health and Safety (626-3904). Allow two weeks for approval process. Users are responsible for assuring that:

• A table is provided for any catering items; they are not set up on the desks or computer console.
• Catering refuse is disposed of in proper trash/recycling containers. Standard quad containers in the rooms are not sufficient for events' refuse.
• Catering equipment/supplies are to be promptly removed from the room, and spills wiped from all surfaces, by the end of the event.
• Carpet spills are to be reported immediately to a FM custodian (624-2900) or Carlson Building Services manager (624-3842 or 626-9378).

Alcohol Permit: If you have plans to serve alcohol at your event, you must submit an Application to Service Alcoholic Beverages at an On-Campus Event (Form UM 23) to the Office of Risk Management (call 624-5884; fax 625-7384). The form is available at the University Forms Library (type in "alcohol"). Be sure to read the instructions to determine if additional insurance is required.

Facility Use Agreement and Certificate of Insurance: External entities or Registered Student Organizations (RSOs that are not Campus Life) conducting events on campus require a Facility Use Agreement completed by the venue prior to the event.

Insurance: Registered Student Organizations (RSO) and External Entities may be required to provide Certificate of Insurance or purchase additional liability coverage (no less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for bodily and personal injury and property damage) for activities or events to which the general public is invited. If a User does not have its own coverage, the University's TULIP program is one option for obtaining this coverage.

TULIP coverage is an on-line process that requires a credit card for payment. Contact your event venue for the pass code. TULIP Insurance Coverage Information is available at http://urmia.bene-marc.com
