Venue Reservations and Rentals

(See also In-kind Space Requests.) The Bollinger Forum accepts request for space rental from Columbia affiliates as well as community members. 

The schedule, staffing, and services needed to best produce your event are considered in developing an estimate for your proposed event at the Bollinger Forum. 

Requesting Space at The Bollinger Forum

Review the building’s event and meeting spaces to familiarize yourself with our facilities, services, and rental rates.

To request a room at the Bollinger Forum:

  • Columbia affiliates must use the online Event Management System (EMS). Using EMS, you can review space availability, select rooms, and submit setup preferences and AV needs as part of your request for event space at the Bollinger Forum.
  • Non-Columbia affiliates should complete and submit the online event request form located on the Bollinger Forum website, theforum.columbia.edu.
  • If you have difficulty accessing the Bollinger Forum’s EMS site, please email [email protected] about your event and the space you would like to book.

As multiple requests for space are being considered concurrently, the requested space may not be available on the date and time requested; where possible, alternative dates and times will be considered.

To secure a reservation, the Bollinger Forum requires a deposit at the signing of the Event Agreement.
