Some of the frequently asked questions pertaining to booking events in Capitol Federal Hall are listed below.

Reserving Space in Capitol Federal Hall

  • How do I host a TABLING event in the atrium? Contact Cheryl Webb at cwebb@ku.edu to reserve a date and time for your tabling event.
​
  • How do I book the ATRIUM? The atrium must be booked through the Dean's Office. Click here to fill out the official event form two weeks prior to your event. The atrium does not have a restriction on the number of people who can attend the event, but please note that the atrium can only be booked after 5:00 PM each day.
 
  • How do I book the AUDITORIUM? The auditorium must be booked through the Dean's Office. Click here to fill out the official event form two weeks prior to your event. The auditorium holds 350 people.
 
  • How do I book the COLLOQUIUM? The colloquium must be booked through the Dean's Office. Click here to fill out the official event form two weeks prior to your event. If an event is scheduled in the colloquium, it will come with 8 round tables and 8 chairs at each table, so there will be a total of 64 chairs. However, there will be extra chairs provided. Although, it might be a tight fit, each table can seat 9 people if necessary. If you wish to organize the event seating in rows, 100 people can be seated comfortably. It does not matter how you arrange the tables and chairs for the event, but when the event is over, the space should be put back to the "8 tables with 8 chairs each" arrangement. Additionally, there is a kitchen attached to the colloquium. It is expected that all food and trash will be removed from the kitchen at the end of the event.
 
  • How do I book a CLASSROOM? Classrooms should be booked through the Dean's Office. Click here to fill out the official event form two weeks prior to your event. This is the same form that should be used to book rooms for club meetings each semester. Please note that club meeting room reservations must be renewed each semester. If your club fails to re-book the room, it is possible that another club may book it instead. 
 
  • How do I book the HIVE? The hive is not available for events. This space was intended to create an innovative and collaborative environment for Business students to complete their coursework. 
 
  • Can I have food catered for my event? Food is permitted in the atrium, colloquium, and the hive. If your event is only open to your club's members, you are not required to use KU Dining. If your event is open to all School of Business students, KU Dining should be your first option for food. If KU Dining does not offer the specific food item(s) you are wanting, outside food can be approved by filling out this form. The form should be submitted to Michael Wade Smith, Executive Director of Marketing and Advancement, at mws@ku.edu. No food or drink is allowed in the classrooms.

  • Are there University resources for hosting events? Yes! You can find more information about the University Events Committee on SILC's website at http://silc.ku.edu/gettingstarted.

PLEASE NOTE: All KU students and faculty have the ability to book rooms in Capitol Federal Hall. However, as business students, you have precedence over the other requests. Your request for a room will not be turned down due to someone from a different school booking the room you need. ​
If you have any questions about hosting events in Capitol Federal Hall, please reach out to School of Business   Events Coordinator, Kendyl Grender at kgrender@ku.edu, or our Faculty Advisor, Kelvie Crabb at kacrabb@ku.edu.
