Reservation Policy

The Space

The Gate consists of two primary event spaces, The Gate and the Gate Annex. These rooms can be used alone or in combination, and when making a reservation for The Gate, you will automatically have access to both rooms. An additional conference room is available to Campus Life departments during business hours upon request with a confirmed room reservation. The room set up is flexible and may be configured in multiple ways to accommodate many events. The available standing capacity is 400 persons; set ups with furniture will accommodate fewer people due to the addition of furniture (e.g. lecture with a maximum of 200).

The Gate – Alumnae Hall Room 031 // Max Capacity: 400
A large, uncarpeted, mostly unfurnished space with central mirrored columns and a door that leads to the Miller Hall side of Pembroke Green. A small number of tables and chairs are located in the space and may be used and moved for small-scale meetings or gatherings. Additional furniture may be requested through Event Operations.

Note that there is no A/V equipment installed in the Gate. All orders for sound systems, furniture, and other production equipment must be placed through Event Operations.

Bathrooms are located in the hallway outside The Gate and across from the Office for Military Affiliated Students (OMAS). Although The Gate is accessible and ADA compliant from the exterior doors at the north and east sides of the building, the closest ADA compliant restroom is outside of the Alumnae Hall Auditorium, which can be accessed via the external lift. Additional ADA compliant restrooms are located in the Verney Woolley Dining Hall or Smith Buonano Hall.
