Event hosts are responsible for familiarizing themselves with and abiding by the following policies
Facilities and Operations requests must be received at least two weeks prior to your event date. Service is not guaranteed if requests are submitted past this deadline.
The details of your request must be confirmed at least one week prior to the event. Changes are not able to be accommodated after this deadline.
You are responsible for providing a chart string along with your Facilities and Operations request so that we may charge the appropriate account for services rendered.
All Columbia University faculty and staff, as well as all Business School students have access to Henry R. Kravis and David Geffen halls. All other persons must be logged here on the guest list for lobby guards to permit them access. You may also set up a registration table in the lobby and perform your own guest check-in (required for guest lists larger than 25)
In order for vendors to enter Henry R. Kravis or David Geffen Halls, they must be met in the lobby and escorted upstairs. Any items that require a hand carts for transportation must go through the loading dock.
Fees vary depending on several factors. Events that take place during the weekend, events that require a larger scope of labor and larger number of laborers, events scheduled with limited set up and break down time, event setups that require moving rented furniture from the loading dock, and requests submitted with late notice will all incur higher fees. If you are in need of an exact cost estimate, you may request one from Columbia Facilities here. Events outside regular business hours may incur additional overtime rates, depending on staff availability and event duration. Please know that the CBS Operations team does everything we can to keep fees as low as possible.
