Guidelines
Events may be held from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Vendor displays are not allowed outside seminar room. Renters must provide a written itinerary two weeks in advance, including day of event contact person, catering arrangements and any special deliveries or arrangements. To serve alcohol, renters must secure an application no later than 10 days prior to the event. Alcoholic beverages may only be sold by D’Amico and University Dining Services. Renters must gain approval from facility for music and volume levels.
All spaces must be returned to their original condition upon completion of the event. Users are responsible for removal of equipment or food.
Parking
Parking is typically available in the Maroon Lot directly across from CMRR at a flat rate of $6.00. This is an unmanned parking lot, so credit cards or prepaid parking coupons are required to exit. Check the Parking and Transportation Services website (www.umn.edu/pts) to determine if a special event will be held which may make parking difficult. Prepaid parking coupons can be purchased directly from Parking and Transportation Services.
In addition to the Maroon Lot, two additional lots are within close walking distance. Lot 37 is two blocks west and Victory Lot is 2 blocks east.
