Room Fees

If your event requires exceptional tech support (i.e. the services of a concert production vendor or of an FOM labor shop) your organization will be charged at full cost through the reservation system.

Undergraduate Student Organization Events

The Collis Student Center supports undergraduate student organization events with free use of venues and a modest threshold of uncharged tech support.

• We will provide up to four work hours of free tech support (i.e. two techs working for two hours each) after which the Organization will be charged at the rate of $30/hr.

Non-Undergraduate Student Organizations and Departmental Events for Students 

Non-undergraduate student organizations and departmental events that are student-focused are charged for the use of the room ($75 for Common Ground and Tom Dent and $50 for ONE Wheelock) and have a lower threshold of uncharged Tech and Professional support.

• We will provide up to two work hours of free tech support (i.e. two techs working for one hour each) after which the organization will be charged at the rate of $45/hr.

Departmental Events for Faculty and Staff

Departmental events that are not student-focused (i.e. attended mostly by staff, faculty or community members) are charged for the use of the room ($75 for Common Ground and Tom Dent, $50 for ONE Wheelock) and are charged for ALL tech and professional support.

• The Collis Center will not provide free tech support to departmental events that are not student-focused. The department will be charged at the rate of $45/hr for Tech labor from the outset (i.e. there is no threshold of free labor).

Cancellation of any Common Ground reservation must be made at least 10 business days in advance. Organizations and departments that do not provide sufficient notice of cancellation may be charged as follows:

• Student organizations will be charged a $75 fee and could lose their reservation privileges
• Campus departments will forfeit the $75 Common Ground rental fee 

Cancellation of an event in ONE Wheelock, Sarner or Tom Dent must be made at least 10 business days in advance. Organizations and departments that do not provide sufficient notice of cancellation may be charged as follows:

• Student organizations will be charged a $50 fee and could lose their reservation privileges
• Campus departments will forfeit their reservation fee ($50 for ONE Wheelock and $75 for Tom Dent Cabin)

Late cancellation of an event which has assigned resources (i.e. sound, lighting, data projection, table and chair setups, staging setups etc.) or complete non-utilization of resources (requiring the work of the Collis Tech Crew or Managers) will incur these charges:

• Student organizations: $30 an hour for ALL tech hours involved in the setup, onsite or breakdown of the event
• Campus departments: $45 an hour for ALL tech hours involved in the setup, onsite or breakdown of the event

• Collis provides basic setup and tech support for all events, up to a certain threshold. Once this threshold of labor has been reached, charges will be incurred.
• Any AV setup that cannot be provided by Collis or an approved vendor must be requested from Conferences Events (603-646-2923). They will be able to tell you how much those additional services will cost.
• Collis does not provide laptops for events.
• Anytime that Facilities Operations and Management (FO&M) is contracted for services additional charges will be incurred.
• When officers from Safety and Security are required (for building openings and closings, security, etc.) additional charges will be incurred.
• Organizations will be charged a fee if a space is left in disarray or in a very messy state. The base fee is $100.
• Late or last-minute resource requests (i.e. within 48 hours of the event) will be charged at their full rate ($30/hr for student organizations and $45 for departments). For example, if an event is about to start and the organizer requests data projection and a wireless mic, they would be charged the full rate.
