  • There is a $500 space use fee, plus staffing and technical fees associated with booking the Performance Hall. Depending on the complexity of the event and the number of rehearsals, a student event in the Performance Hall can cost anywhere from $700-$2500+
  • Please see the Performance Hall Production Information Sheets to help understand the capabilities of the space and how to estimate your costs.
• RSOs may NOT book space for outside groups’ events or promotions. If your RSO is collaborating with an off-campus affiliate to promote a joint venture, such that your event will promote both the RSO and the affiliate, your request will be reviewed by Logan Center staff for approval.  Bookings that are collaborated with off-campus affiliates must adhere to the following policies:
  • University students from the hosting organization must be present for the entire event.
  • The event must directly promote the hosting organization’s goals in some way.
  • The host organization will be responsible for the affiliates guests, and for ensuring that all guests adhere to all existing policies.

• Most spaces in Logan Center are equipped with a standard set-up of tables, chairs, and other room-specific built-in AV. At the conclusion of your event, please re-set the room to the standard configuration.
• If you need assistance with a special set-up for an event, the Operations staff can assist with planning, set-up and breakdown. The Logan Center has tables, chairs, podiums, and other technology available for use. Please email any specific needs to Logan Operations at loganops@uchicago.edu, at least two weeks prior to your event.
• If your event requires significant alterations to the space such as installing a set, attaching something to the walls, etc., you must meet with the Logan Operations staff prior to the event to discuss how best to use the space and prevent damage. The cost to repair any damage sustained during your use may be assessed to the RSO hosting the event.

• Once space is confirmed, if your event is open to the public, please submit a calendar listing by logging on to UChicago Events, so we may upload it to the Logan Center calendar and help market your event.

Contact Greg Redenius, Associate Director for Facilities and Operations at redenius@uchicago.edu, immediately if an extension is needed due to extenuating circumstances.
• Installations must never inhibit ingress and egress through doorways or stairwells, especially doors in emergency stairways. Installations using hazardous materials and/or posing a safety threat are subject to immediate removal without notice.
