Space Assignment
Campus Event Services Office does not confirm specific rooms in Wisconsin Union facilities at the time an event reservation is made. Exceptions apply to large functions such as wedding receptions and banquets, which are usually scheduled with designated room locations.
Event organizers and participants should check specific room locations the day of the event on TITU signs and digital displays.
Use of Wisconsin Union facilities and other university spaces are primarily restricted to activities that fulfill the University's mission of teaching, research and public service. Campus Event Services is responsible for assigning space for non-instructional use only. Non-instructional use refers to any activities that do not offer college credit for attending.
Event Setup Options
In most Wisconsin Union meeting rooms, tables and chairs can be arranged in a variety of formats to accommodate your event. Click here for a complete list of layout options.
Our staff is happy to accommodate alternative set up requests when possible.
