Cocktail Tables & Staging

University Events has 36″ cocktail tables available for campus use as well as staging. You can request usage today by completing a form located below. See a photo of the tables on the University Events Equipment Inventory page.

How To Reserve Them

Cocktail tables and staging should now be requested through the Special Events Risk Assessment form (SERA), along with the Facilities Management request. Please make sure any cocktail tables/staging requests are included in the instructions to Facilities Management.

Guidelines for Use

• Staging/cocktail tables should not be left outside overnight following an outdoor event—client is responsible for scheduling the removal following their event with Facilities Management.
• Students/student organizations cannot request staging/cocktail tables as they are reserved for departmental use only.
• A professional staff member should be present at any event that utilizes staging.
• Staging should not be used for events that diminish the quality for future use (i.e. events with paint, water, etc.).
• Staging should not be used for load bearing events as it is intended for light use only.
