Event Services is responsible for reserving most (but not all) campus spaces for events. An event is anything that is not a regularly scheduled academic class, such as a public concert or lecture. This includes film screenings, tutoring sessions and meetings.
Event Services is your one-stop-shop for:
media
set-up and clean-up
equipment delivery
calendar postings
heating/air conditioning
building and room access
There is no need to contact all of the service departments separately, just let Event Services know what you need. Once you have reserved a campus space for your event, send an email to Event Services with your service needs.
We need enough lead time to process your request and secure the necessary services for your event. If your event is less than 14 business days away, campus service departments may not have enough time to provide the services that you need.

Event Services and the Willits-Hallowell Center will be closed for renovations for the 2026-2027 academic year.
Any Mount Holyoke department or registered student organization representative who is planning a meeting or event at Mount Holyoke College that meet the set deadlines. Those who are not affiliated with a Mount Holyoke department or student organization should contact Conference and Event Services or call 413-538-2333.
Anything that is not a regularly scheduled academic class, such as a public concert or lecture, is considered an event. This includes film screenings, tutoring sessions and meetings.
An event that is open to invited guests only and will not be publicized in any way is a private event. Examples include department or student org meetings, film screenings related to a class, or a private reception for invited guests.
Any event that will be publicized in any way (flyer, calendar posting, etc.) is considered a public event. Examples include a public concert, theatrical performance, or lecture open to the Mount Holyoke community and/or the general public.
A business day is any day that Conference and Event Services is open for business—Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 5 pm. Forms submitted after 5 pm fall on the next business day.
Conference and Event Services needs enough lead time to process your request along with all of the other requests for space. If your event is less than 2 business days in advance, we may not be able to process your request in time. Please call 413-538-2153 to see if it is still possible to make a reservation at this late date.
All events must be sponsored by a campus department or registered student organization. Those not directly affiliated with the college should email Conference and Event Services or call 413-538-2333 for more information.
Conference and Event Services needs enough lead time to process your request and secure the necessary services for your event. These services include heating/air conditioning, building and room access, media services, room set-up/clean-up, equipment delivery, and calendar postings. If your event is less than 14 days from now, we may not be able to provide the services you will need. We will start a dialogue with you about the options when we reply with your reservation confirmation.
This form should be used to request any of the spaces that are reserved by Conference and Event Services. If you do not see a location in the drop-down menu, it is not reserved by Conference and Event Services. Please refer to the Campus Space Inventory for the contact information of the department that reserves the location you need.
The Registrar reserves classroom spaces for regularly scheduled academic classes only. If you need to use a classroom for anything other than a scheduled academic class- such as a film screening, tutoring session, meeting or lecture- you should make your request with Conference and Event Services.
Once you receive the email confirmation, you should begin a dialogue with Conference and Event Services about your service needs. Contact Conference and Event Services by email or call 413-538-2153.
The purpose of the Campus Space Request Form is to streamline the process for requesting campus space for events. As the College has seen the number and complexity of events grow, so has the demand on the resources of Conference and Event Services. Using this form to make your request will ensure that we respond to you as quickly and efficiently as possible. Requests made by phone or email may end up at the back of the queue.
