If you are considering an outdoor event on campus, there are rules and regulations that must be followed regarding the setup and location in order to stay in accordance with the Santa Clara Municipal Fire Code. University Operations has created an aerial map showing all designated fire lanes that are to remain unoccupied regardless of the event. If you are an Event Planner, please compare the area(s) you are considering for an event space with the aerial map provided below and review the following information to ensure no violations occur.
- The PDF above is an outline of the Santa Clara University Fire Lanes. The red lines that have diagonal hatching throughout are off limit areas. Under no circumstances are these routes to be blocked for any period of time for an event. In addition, designated fire lanes shall not be obstructed by the parking of vehicles or any other equipment including but not limited to tents, stages, tables, chairs, etc.
- Tents over 400 Sq. ft. will require a permit through the Santa Clara Fire Department. (An exception for this permit may be granted if the tents will have all sides open for the entire event).
- Hanging lights, banners, etc. are to be no lower than 14'.
- Fire lanes on the streets on campus are identified by red painted curbs
