Usage Fees
University-affiliated (internal) departments, programs, and student organizations:
No rental fees.
There may be a key-holder fee of $15/hour for a three-hour minimum.
Due to the costly equipment housed in the space, we ask all groups to pay an hourly rate for a key-holder to be with you while you use the space for performances and technical rehearsals. This fee is "at cost" for the department to pay the keyholder.
Keyholders are experienced students who have been trained on facility equipment and usage guidelines by our technical director. They are also familiar with emergency protocols.
The keyholder unlocks the facility, provides general lighting using the existing light plot, can provide general lighting for a performance, and secures the space at the conclusion of the event.
