Furniture, Furniture Rentals, and Room Setup

Furniture and venue maintenance at the Bollinger Forum is provided by Columbia University Facilities and Operations.

Use of event and meeting space at the Bollinger Forum includes setup and breakdown with conference tables and chairs and other furnishings within the building’s inventory. Event sponsors can arrange for the rental of additional furniture, in consultation with the Director of Events.

The Bollinger Forum provides a range of room setup options and will work with event sponsors to tailor the room setup to their needs. Room setup must be finalized no later than 14 business days in advance of the event. Additional Facilities charges may apply if special setups are requested.

Rental of furniture not included in the Bollinger Forum inventory will be arranged and paid for by the event sponsor and must be approved in writing by the Bollinger Forum staff in advance of the event. Keep in mind that the Bollinger Forum is a linen-free building when ordering tables.

Delivery of all furniture rentals must be coordinated with the Bollinger Forum Operations staff and Facilities. Additional Facilities setup charges may apply, as determined by Facilities.

Event sponsors should not rearrange Forum furniture without consultation from the building event manager.

Tables and chairs should never be placed directly next to walls or windows at the Bollinger Forum, and should never block or hinder entrances, exits, or passageways.
