Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most common questions guests have when renting out a space on the USF St. Petersburg campus.
making a reservation
What time can I access the space after reserving it?
That depends on who is programming before you and if we need to flip the space before your event. Typically if your event is in the Ballrooms we have 3 hours for you to setup & if you are in one of our other spaces you will have 30 min or an hour.
Should I include my setup & breakdown time in my event time?
Nope! Our system automatically puts in set up & breakdown time for you so when you put in extra time, it throws off everything on the backend. Please just put what time your actual event is!
Campus questions
Can I have food at my event?
Yes! You can utilize Chartwells which is our on campus dining service or you can bring something from an outside caterer. If you choose to utilize food that is not Chartwells, there are extra documents we need collected.
How does parking work?
We have a couple of different avenues for parking! You can have guests "pay as they go" since our parking garage has a ParkMobile cod or you can choose to buy spots in advance.
What decorations can I bring?
What are you thinking? Our team can help you brainstorm and accommodate most ideas but we do not allow glitter, confetti, or open flames.
Will you have someone to help with the AV?
Absolutely! You can hire one of our Event Technicians to stay in the room with you and run the equipment or you can always call the Building Manager if you're having issues.
