University Facility Use Policies and Guidelines G-3
SUBJECT: Use of Library Mall
FROM: Facilities Use Committee
DATE: January 7, 1997
The Library Mall (the area between Memorial Library and the Historical
Society Library) serves as a primary pedestrian thoroughfare for
the lower campus. All uses made of the mall must preserve thoroughfare
access for pedestrians.
- Reservations are not required for meetings or other gatherings
on the Library Mall unless the proposed event will require use
of sound amplifying equipment or involve the placing of tables,
chairs, displays, or temporary structures on the mall grounds.
- The Mall may be reserved for use by University groups (departments
and organizations associated with the University). All requests
for reservations of the Library Mall should be directed to the
Central Reservations Office (CRO) in Memorial Union, 262-2511.
- For many groups wishing to conduct an event in an outdoor space
in the lower campus area, the State Street Mall located just south
of the Library Mall with its permanent stage (including provision
for electrical access) or the City of Madison sidewalks along
Langdon Street which are available for sales activity by persons
with city vendor's licenses will be the best alternatives. Groups
are urged to contact the City of Madison.
- Except for the hawking of newspapers or similar printed matter,
the University will not reserve the Library Mall for any selling,
peddling, or soliciting activity unless that activity is directly
sponsored by a University department.
- The Library Mall ordinarily will not be reserved for events
requiring sound amplification because the adjacent State Street
Mall has more appropriate facilities.
- University groups may reserve the mall for events that include
the placing of tables, chairs, temporary structures, or display
items on the mall provided that the items will not damage the
grounds in any way or interfere with other University activities.
The Central Reservations Office may require that a proposed use
be reviewed by the University Office of Facilities Planning and
Management.
- Reservations for displays or other continuous events on the
mall ordinarily will be limited to two consecutive days. Proposed
uses that are inconsistent with these regulations will be presented
to the Facility Use Committee for approval.
