You are not required to be affiliated with UCR to host an event in our meeting rooms. If you are a non-UCR affiliated group, we do have event insurance requirements that are very easy to obtain and affordable.

Some of our meeting rooms are offered at a discounted rate for registered student organizations in good standing. Please contact us for more information on our rates.

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.

Your event coordinator will recommend the parking lot that is most convenient for your meeting room. Your event coordinator will also coordinate your pedestrian signage and parking attendant needs for you. Pricing varies by event type and guests. Speak with an event coordinator for more details.

Our rooms are equipped with standard tables and chairs. Additional customization options are available and arranged by your event coordinator for an additional fee.
