Catering in Central Space
Catering in committee rooms and meeting rooms is permitted throughout the year.
During vacation time only, catering is also permitted in most centrally-managed teaching rooms that are furnished with tables and chairs. Catering is not permitted in any lecture theatre, specialist space (such as a TEAL room or IT lab), small tutorial room with tablet chairs, or corridor. It is not permitted in any teaching space in the James McCune Smith Building or Adam Smith Building at all.
When booking a room for an event that will require catering, you will need to book an additional hour either side of your event times in order to allow for setting and clearing up the space. This should be included in the timing of your request.
Catering should be booked directly with the University's catering team once a room has been secured.
In all cases, responsibility for ensuring that the catering is cleared away at the end of the event lies with the person who has made the booking. This will entail putting any cups, dishes, etc. in the boxes provided by the catering team and leaving these outside the room for collection, as well as disposing of any food waste, packaging, and used sundries in the appropriate manner immediately after your event has concluded.
