Fisher Center Room Reservations
FSC spaces require 30 minutes of additional setup and breakdown time. If there is food/catering for your event, FSC spaces require 1 hour of additional setup and breakdown time. Add this in the “Additional Time” area of the request.
Meeting Rooms
The Fisher Student Center has 9 different meeting rooms located throughout the building ranging in size from a 12-person conference room to a 250-seat meeting room. For additional information regarding space capacities and set-up, please contact the Scheduling Coordinator for the Fisher Student Center.
Vendor Locations
The Fisher Student Center has 5 different vendor spaces located throughout the building allowing for tabling events. The Fisher Student Center, Student Organizations, and University Departments have the right to sponsor vendors in the building. These vendors must be approved and reserved through the FSC Student Center Operations Coordinator. The Fisher Student Center has the right to decline a vendor request based on the appropriateness of the vendor, the current vendor schedule, the needs of the vendors housed in the FSC, the requirements of the vendor, and/or past experiences with the vendor.
Each vendor space is typically set with one table and two chairs. Currently, the FSC Vendor West and FSC Vendor South are the only available vendor areas due to the dining accommodations during the Salmonson renovation.
Space Priority
Space reservation priority is given to recognized student organizations 7 days a week from 2:00pm to 11:00pm however, we do allow limited requests of space for class-related seminars/workshops/presentations. Organizations which hold regular weekly meetings may apply to the Scheduling Coordinator for meeting space each spring. Reservations will remain in effect for a full year unless groups do not adhere to Fisher Student Center policies.
It is the responsibility of the individuals who reserved the meeting room to be sure the room is clean before they leave.
