Room Policies
- Regardless of the nature of the event, it is up to the person who booked the room to make sure the room is left clean. This includes picking up trash, disinfecting surfaces, organizing for catering to pick up their equipment, AND putting items left behind in the Lost & Found boxes.
- The room must also be reset to the standard configuration after every reservation. Standard configuration signs are posted in every space (except the lobby). Please follow these guidelines regardless of how the space looked when you entered it.
- If you have entered the space and the room has not met these standards, take pictures and immediately report this to the Lucas Hall Rooms - Report a Concern Form.
