Request a Space

Located at the intersection of Grove and College streets in New Haven, the Schwarzman Center celebrates University life and the arts through year-round cultural programming. Some of the Center’s spaces are occasionally available for use by other Yale organizations, however availability is limited due to the programming calendar.

Requesting Space

• Please note as of January 3, 2025, we have extremely limited availability in the spring semester.
• Requests are limited to Yale students, faculty, and staff. (Non-Yale affiliated groups are ineligible at this time.)
• Spaces that may be requested for events include Commons, the Presidents' Room, and The Well.
• A space request form is required to assess availability.
• Requests do not serve as confirmed reservations or space holds. 
• Floor-by-floor maps of the building and 360-degree images of spaces can be found here.

Timing Your Request

• Due to the volume of inquiries, requests must be submitted at least six weeks in advance of the preferred date. Please plan accordingly.
• Submitted requests are compiled on Mondays and reviewed within ten business days.
• Due to our programming process, we cannot book our venues more than five months in advance. Availability is not guaranteed.
