Most of our meeting spaces do have WI-FI access on the UCR Wi-Fi network that is open to UCR students, staff and faculty. If you need Wi-Fi, please let your event coordinator know, so we can select the right meeting room for you. Additionally, if your guests include non-UCR affiliated attendees, we provide wireless guest codes upon request.

UCR has three exclusive caterers to provide anything you need: Citrus Grove Catering, CRATE and UCR Subway Caters. Because of this, no outside food is permitted in any of our meeting rooms.

You are allowed to take non-perishable items, such as baked goods, with you, but we do not provide to-go boxes. Because we are concerned about food safety, we do not recommend removal of potentially hazardous foods, as they have a short expiration time and may become unsafe for consumption. Unserved surplus food is donated to Inland Harvest, a local nonprofit food bank that helps feed community members in need.
