As our rooms are used for University classes, there are some restrictions on the times that they are available for rental. The rooms in Mary Gates Hall are usually unavailable while school is in session, which is traditionally 8:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday during the academic year. However, the Commons is available the entire day on many days. Please contact our office for exact availability.

• Smoking: In accordance with University policy, smoking is not allowed in Mary Gates Hall.



• Ticketing: Event Services is not a ticketing outlet. We will, however, provide referrals to callers inquiring about your event. When you use our facility to host your event, please provide our office with your ticketing and publicity information.



• Food & Beverages: If you would like to serve food and/or beverages at your event, we would recommend that you rent the Commons. We do not allow food and/or beverage service in any of the carpeted classrooms. Please see the Rental Policies section of our website or call our office for more information.

• An Event Assistant may be required for room rental.



• All of our rooms are wheelchair accessible. If your event requires special accommodation, please contact the Disability Services Office at 206.543.6450 or dso@u.washington.edu.
