UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENTS
All departments can reserve space for University related events, as an internal event
or an internal/external event.
An Internal event is an event open to current SBU Faculty, Staff and Students. In these cases there
are no fees for space rental and the only fees incurred are direct costs.
An Internal/External event is when a department sponsors an event that includes attendees outside of the SBU
community. In this case there are nominal fees associated with the use. Any event
that is open to the other universities, groups, or publicis considered an internal/external
event.

REQUESTS
Requests for space are awarded first-come, first-served and handled in the order requested.
It may take up to 3 business day for a confirmation and a cost estimate. As your
event takes shape we ask that you keep us apprised so we can reserve equipment, schedule
staff and revise costs.
FEES
Fees are based on an 8 hour day, with your catering set up needs as part of your reservation
time. Any events outside building hours require pre-approval and additional fees apply.
You will be invoiced after your event. When paying by cash or check, please add a
17.64% SUNY ADMIN fee. This Administrative fee is not accrued when paying by journal transfer or materials & service requisition. Invoices
are due within 30 days of receipt.
AV SERVICES
The University has a professional staff to assist with your Audio Visual needs. Internal
events may incur nominal fees for A/V support; internal/external events have tech
support and standard A/V fees included in the rental fee. An estimate will be provided
at the time of your reservation request and throughout you planning process.
For safety reasons the Wang Center does not allow clients to bring their own A/V,
with the exception of laptops and slide advancers (no projectors, amps, mics etc.)
DECORATING
The Wang Center does not permit attaching anything to the walls, doors, or floors.
