The Case Library and Geyer Center for Information Technology faculty and staff welcome the use of our spaces by the Colgate University community, for both instructional and non-instructional activities such as meetings or informal gatherings. Typically, Colgate employees on behalf of non-Colgate groups should not make room requests without advance consultation with the University Librarian. No fee or cost should be associated with any event.
Faculty and students are welcome to use the many unique and comfortable spaces creatively and as often as they would like. Some spaces may be scheduled through the Events Management System (EMS); see details below. Note that only the seminar rooms on levels four and five (415, 438, 515, 535) may be used as the primary classroom for courses.
All spaces are governed by Case-Geyer policies regarding the public use of the building:
