These differ for students/student organizations, FIU departments, and external customers and they are posted at https://reservespace.fiu.edu/terms-conditions/.

Yes, specific answers to our risk review questions are critical. While simple meetings generally come with little risk, most events come with some risk. Typical risk factors? Crowd size and crowd movement, alcohol, mishandling of food, temporary structures such as tents or extra lighting, any type of fire/pyrotechnics and so on. But there are also reputation risks where events attract a lot of public attention or are about controversial topics. And certainly there are plenty of risks when we host youth groups/minors to our campuses. The Central Reservation reservation request process is designed to help you think through what risks your event entails. You should be diligent in submitting complete information. This information will be reviewed by risk reviewers (FIU Police, Environmental Health & Safety, General Counsel and others) and they will advise you on how to best manage potential risks for a safe and secure event!

Events without a strong tie to our mission are external events and will be billed at the market rate.

The below set up types are the most commonly used configurations for events. Remember that the set up time impacts the maximum room capacity for your event.
