Layout/Setup Policies and FAQ

Can we move furniture?

NO. Only trained Events and Conferences Setup Staff are allowed to move furniture due to safety guidelines and protocols. Best practice is to have your setup details and diagram confirmed at least 15 business days out from event date to avoid needing any short-notice or day-of changes. Short-notice changes (5 business days out from event) or day-of requests/changes will result in a $100 fee + additional fees from support service departments if required.

Tables and chairs on wheels are allowed to be shifted within the room but MUST be put back in their original place post-event.

Furniture from other classrooms and spaces cannot be borrowed/relocated; all furniture must remain within its designated space.

Event organizers are responsible for upholding and communicating to their event attendees that furniture cannot be moved.

When should event layout details be finalized?

Best practice is 15 business days out from event date, especially for bigger-scale events. Any short-notice changes or requests 5 business days out from event will be charged a $100 fee.

If no correspondence confirming layout/setup details are provided to us 5 business days prior to event, your event will either have to use the same layout as the previous or following group in the space or will have to use the space as is.

What are the rates for setup services?

External clients: The standard setup service is already included in the room rental. However, if a mid-event setup transition/change is required (and given 15 business days advanced notice) during a break in an event, a $40/hour setup transition charge will be applied. The room is required to be empty of occupants during mid-event setup/transition.

Internal clients: Setup/teardown service rates only apply when setups/teardowns are needed during non-standard hours and weekends. If a mid-day setup transition/change is required (and given 15 business days advanced notice) during a break in during an event or in between event reservations, a $40/hour (minimum 2 hours) setup charge will be applied. Short notice/emergency setup rates apply when a setup adjustment is requested 5 business days or less from from event date.

Setups/teardown services are charged based on a first-come, first-serve basis. If another reservation was already scheduled and a setup/teardown shift is required outside regular setup hours to accommodate the second reservation, the second reserving entity will be charged.

Outdoor/indoor event space furniture can only be set and used within their respective spaces.

Only furniture owned by UWT Events & Conferences and designated for specific outdoor/indoor spaces may be used for approved events and/or tabling purposes.

What is NOT allowed with furniture layouts?

What is NOT allowed:

Moving furniture or rearranging setup. (Only allowed if furniture is on casters/wheels and is reset once finished.)
Having setups that impede walkways, doorways, stairwells, and exits; fire code violation.
1. All furniture must allow at least 4 feet of clearance from walkways, doorways, stairwells, and exits.
Having furniture stacked.
Standing on tables and chairs.
Bringing personal or rental furniture without advanced notice and approval.

If you have specific setup needs (e.g. an aisle between tables or chairs), please note it on your setup details/diagram. Not all setup details may be accommodated due to fire code, capacities, limitations, time of notice, etc.

Please ensure you have reviewed the information and rates above before submitting a rental inquiry form.
