Space Reservation in Duquès and Funger Halls 

Student organizations must adhere to the following guidelines when booking event space within the Business School:

  • All space requests must be made at least two weeks in advance of the event occurring otherwise space may not be available.
  • All space requests must be accompanied by the Student Organization’s faculty/staff advisor.
  • Details on the event purpose, attendees, catering services, etc., must be provided via the required GW Business Space Request Form.
  • Approvals from faculty/staff advisors and partnering GW Business Departments must be submitted to the GW Business Operations.
  • If any event includes hosting employers, the student organization must partner with the F. David Fowler Career Center (FDFCC) and secure an approval from the FDFCC as well as an approval from the student organizations faculty/staff advisor.

Only after these required approvals are submitted to GW Business Operations will space be booked for an event where employers and/or alumni will be hosted. If these requirements are not satisfied, the space will not be reserved for your event by GW Business Operations. 

Student organizations cannot rent space for performances or rehearsals in Duquès or Funger Halls. These requests should be directed to the University Student Center. Visit Organization Policies & Resources and the Code of Student Conduct for more information on planning an event.
