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 spaces for events. Please contact spaceres@barnard.edu to inquire about possible alternate indoor space for your event/meeting needs. Once the reconstruction of the lawn has been completed later in the spring, it will become available again for reservations and temporary tents for events will be considered.

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

On-Campus Spaces

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.
