Max Capacity 150

Leung Gallery Event Policy:
 

  • Requests for FALL semester programs will not be received prior to June 1.
  • Requests for SPRING semester programs will not be received prior to October 1.
  • Event requests must be submitted three weeks prior to your proposed event date.
  • The space is not available until after 5pm M-F. This included any set- up that might be necessary. Saturday and Sunday the space may be reserved outside this timeframe. 
  • Events must be open to ALL members of the campus community. Further, the event should have appeal to and actively outreach to a broad cross section of the campus. It is insufficient to say that anyone is able to attend.  
    • Given this policy - alcohol is not permitted in the space - it creates a space in which only those 21+ can enter. Exceptions to this can be granted on a case by case basis during the summer.
  • Events which charge admission or require a donation are not permitted.
  • Events must be fluid enough that participants may come and go and that non-participants can continue to pass through the gallery as needed to reach other locations within the Campus Center.  This is important for accessibility reasons as Petteruti is only accessible by elevator if able to cut through Leung.
  • Events in Leung and Petteruti Lounge may be disruptive to one another. If an event reservation in one of these two spaces exists and a request is made for the other space, Student Activities staff will work with the two groups to assess whether the events can co-exist. If it is determined that the latter request will be disruptive to the existing request, the new request will not be approved.
  • Ticketed performances are not permitted. Events that include open mics, coffee house-style performances, or musical components that are offered as background ambience that can still maintain an open and fluid event where guests are free to come in and out of the space will be considered.
  • Events meeting these criteria will be approved on a first come first served basis.
  • While you may view and request Leung through 25 Live the university scheduling system - your space requires approval through SAO.
