Opening the UMC During a Planned Closure

Clients that want to reserve space in the UMC on a date that the facility is scheduled to close will need to schedule space, equipment, or services from the UMC of at least $2,500 to be reviewed by the Director for approval.

If approved, this minimum will allow the facility to be open for up to nine hours. Any additional hours needed for the reservation will be subject to an hourly charge of $500 or equivalent in space, equipment, or services. The minimum fee for the nine hours is during regular UMC established building hours; early openings or late closures have additional fees. UMC Security is required to open the UMC during a planned closure, fees apply.

Additionally, when catering is requested, there will be a $2,500 minimum catering order applicable in addition to the UMC initial facility charge for the nine hours. If the event goes longer than nine hours there will not be an additional catering minimum other than what/if the client requests.

Events with alcohol

If you are planning to serve alcohol at your event, we will assist you with the process. CU’s Campus Manager of Alcohol Service is located in the CU Events Planning & Catering office.
