Security is provided by Columbia University Public Safety. Additional Public Safety Officer(s) may be required if one or more of the following circumstances applies:
- The event starts before or after building hours (8:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m.)
- Alcohol is being served in an open space, ie. the Atrium, Foyer, or hallways
- The size or nature of the event warrants additional Public Safety
Determination of the need for additional Public Safety Officers is made in consultation with the Department of Public Safety and will be communicated to the event sponsor along with the additional costs to be incurred.
The Bollinger Forum, in consultation with Public Safety and Fire Safety, reserves the right to require an event review for special events. Such event reviews, normally conducted 10 days to 2 weeks prior to the event, include the event sponsor, members of the Bollinger Forum staff, and representatives from Columbia Public Safety and Facilities and Operations staff. Event reviews may result in modifications to event setup and additional costs to ensure safety for all attendees
