LOBBY 13
The lobby of the Bush Building (13) is available for certain types of events. Since it is an entrance lobby, it needs to be maintained as an open passageway for the public. Access to the doors, elevators, and stairways cannot be blocked or restricted in any way. Decorations must be flame retardant and cannot obscure exit signs or exit doors. It is appropriate for receptions, career fairs, poster sessions, etc. If food will be served at your event, the EHS Office recommends that you post the following notice on all the entrances to the lobby and at the elevators on the upper floors. You can also email the text below to the Center for Materials Science and Engineering.
For safety, please do not transport hazardous materials or waste through Lobby 13 during the ____ event on ____ (date/time).
You must arrange with CAC to obtain approval from the Safety Office to ensure that hazardous material traffic will be rerouted away from Lobby 13 during your event. When using the lobby for an event, please be considerate of the nearby classroom and keep noise levels to a minimum. Furniture setups and support services for Lobby 13 are provided by CAC. If your event requires more than a few tables & chairs, you will need to make arrangements with a CAC manager to rent furniture. Standing room reception capacity is 300. If setting up in center of lobby, you will need a 5’ aisle around the perimeter of the room. The maximum seating for rectangular tables is 200; for round tables, 160. Rope off center if tables are setup in center of lobby. Breakers for the lobby lights are in the lobby classroom. Note: during the winter months and in the evenings, the lobby can get very cold.
