Marx Library Auditorium Policies

Marx Library

 

The Marx Library Auditorium and classrooms are scheduled foremost as library instruction facilities. The auditorium is designed for large classes (124 seating capacity and four wheelchairs), as well as to meet other needs that exceed the space in other Library classrooms. It is also available for other co-sponsored University purposes as time is available. However, for small classes or events, the requester will normally be referred to the appropriate classroom.

Reservations or requests for using exterior space are referred to the Director of the Student Center. (See Lowdown “Use of University Space, Facilities, and Grounds.”) Also, expressive activities within 100 feet of the Marx Library are off limits.
