Room Scheduling Policies
Who Can Reserve GSE Rooms?
GSE faculty, staff, students, and programs can reserve GSE-controlled rooms for courses and events. GSE rooms are not available for outside groups.
Priority always goes to Dean-initiated events first, followed by classes, then Faculty, then all other GSE-related meetings/events.
Keys/Access/ID Card Policies
Please email Martin Renteria for keys and access information to GSE buildings, if your event will take place before or after hours.
CERAS 101,108, 204, and 435 require ID Card access after hours.
EDUC 114 and 115 require ID Card access after hours.
Other GSE spaces require keys and access coordination after hours.
- Working hours: 8am-5pm
- After hours: All weekends, mornings, and evenings that do not fall within working hours.
- keypad locations: CERAS main doors, Education back door, Barnum side door (facing the Stanford Bookstore)
***There may be additional requirements for events scheduled after hours or on weekends. Please see information on Janitorial, Cleanup, and Damage.***
Key Cards and Placards
The gate key card and pedestrian zone placard can be checked out from the front desks of the GSE and CERAS buildings or from the facilities team.
Key cards and placards may only be used for vendor loading and unloading purposes, up to 20 minutes. Vendors parked in the pedestrian zone for longer than 20 minutes may be ticketed.
If you are planning an event that requires longer access, please apply for a permit and placard through P&TS: https://transportation.stanford.edu/pedestrian-zone-access
GSE IT and A/V Requests
If you require assistance from GSE IT for your event, please reach out directly to Laura McCarty to provide details.
Additional Tables/Furniture or Furniture Removal/Storage
If you require additional furniture in your space, please check the requirements on 25 Live, and place a request through Event Services. You are responsible for arranging for the removal and storage of any furniture; please check first with Laura McCarty.
Janitorial, Cleanup, and Damage
The event sponsor/coordinator is responsible for cleanup and removal of all decor and signage, personal items and meeting materials. Clean up of the room includes wiping down whiteboards, rearranging furniture to the original configuration, cleaning tabletops, removing trash that would more than half fill the trash cans, removing all food, etc. Also, please take ALL cardboard to the dumpster behind of CERAS or the Education Building. Remember there are events and meetings after yours. We reserve the right to request and charge a PTA if there is incomplete cleanup or damage to the room (e.g., spills on the carpet).
