On-Campus Spaces

Updates for Spring 2023

For updated information on campus access, please visit the link below:  
https://alert.barnard.edu/accessing-campus 

Tents on Campus

As of January 2023, the Futter Field and Quad tents have been removed from campus and, therefore, are no longer reservable options for events. Please contact spaceres@barnard.edu to inquire about possible alternate indoor space for your event/meeting needs. Both of these outdoor areas are reservable, however, and are weather dependent, so we recommend when interested in reserving these spaces, that you have a plan B for rain/inclement weather.

To contact Events Management, please email: spaceres@barnard.edu

On-Campus Spaces

Barnard College has a variety of multi-purpose on-campus event spaces with standardized configurations that ease the planning for the event organizers and minimize the cost and time involved in room set-ups. Classrooms are also used for events. Locations, features of the space, event-type suggestions, capacity information, and standardized set-ups are listed in this section.

For Our Barnard Community

The spaces listed below are available for student clubs and organizations and Barnard faculty and staff to request events as indicated and Barnard's policies and procedures. Event spaces and classrooms are also available for events, activities, and meetings.
