Events & Room Reservations

Policy and Guidelines for Facility Reservations

Kent State University at Geauga and the Twinsburg Academic Center have several on-campus spaces available for use by student organizations, campus administration, and community groups. Please remember that it is your responsibility to set up before and clean up after your event.

How to Make Your Reservation Request:

The process is the same at both locations.

Complete the Room Reservation Form
If you are a community organization, business, or community member, you will need to complete the Facility Use Agreement before your request is considered.
You will receive a confirmation email once your request has been approved.

Can I Have Food at My Event?

You can have food at your event. On the Room Reservation Form and Facility Use Agreement, there is a place to give specific information on food delivery or catering.

Alcoholic beverages are not permitted on university property without the prior written permission of the university.

How Do I Reserve a Room?

You must fill out the Room Reservation Form and the Facility Use Agreement* to submit your reservation request. A reservation should not be considered confirmed until the Events Team approves the room request and you receive confirmation.
*Note - Kent State employee-hosted events do not require a Facility Use Agreement.

Monetary Issues

Our spaces may not be used for commercial/for-profit endeavors of any kind.
No sales or solicitations are permitted.
No admission fees can be charged for meetings or events within the facility or on the grounds.

Restrictions for Use

Events may only be held during the posted building hours. Building hours change every semester based on the class schedule. Events must end 30 minutes prior to the posted building closing time to allow for cleaning and security checks.
Furniture in classrooms and common areas must be returned to its proper arrangement by the event organizers. If help is required, please state this on the Room Reservation Form.
After the event concludes, the person who reserved the room is responsible for returning the room to how it was originally set up.
Buildings may not be available at certain dates or times based on sustainability measures or for maintenance upgrades.

No Endorsement

External organizations may not use the name "Kent State University" or any university trademark, or make any statement or inference that the university is a sponsor or endorser of any event held on university property.

Guidelines for set-up, tear-down, and transition times

Below 50 attendees expected: allow 30 minutes set-up time.
50-100 attendees expected: allow 1 hour set-up time.
100 plus attendees expected: handle on a case by case basis. Please inquire.
