CBC offers the use or rental of its facilities for educational purposes to community-based groups as available. Submission of the online Facility Use Form is required at least two weeks in advance of the event. More lead-time is required for events needing special services. Forms not completed in full will be rejected.

Facility Use Expectations
- All furniture moved must be returned to original setting at the end of use.
- In the case of weekend meetings, all trash accumulated must be bagged prior to leaving the facility. (Please plan to have your own garbage sacks available to facilitate this.)
- Absolutely NO staples of any kind in walls.
- Absolutely NO glitter, confetti, or industrial-strength tape.
- Special decorations (such as balloons, etc.) or special equipment must be approved by the facility coordinators prior to the event.
- Observe all parking rules. Weekdays (7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.) visitors must use student parking lots or the visitor lot located south of the Administration (A) building with a Visitor Parking Permit posted. Permits for this lot may be requested in advance from the facility coordinators.
- Fees for custodial services, audio visual equipment, and technical support will be assessed with the booking of the facility. A technical support fee will be charged to all users who request such support on evenings and weekends, including CBC staff users. Contact the facility coordinators for additional fee information.
Events Including Food
CBC has an exclusive contract with The Country Gentleman for food service on our campus. Information about menus and prices can be found on their website. Please work with them directly after you have received an approval for your event. For additional information, please read the Facility Use Form Instructions located with the online form.
Special Insurance
Certain events may require special events liability insurance. This will be determined by the Sr. Vice President for Administration. You will be contacted after you have submitted a Facility Use Form if liability insurance is required.
Holidays
When the campus is closed for holidays, facilities are not open for special events. Some exceptions may apply, but require approval by the Sr. Vice President for Administration.
