Space Reservation
Over 200 venues on campus, from classrooms to small conference rooms, from banquet halls to large theatres and amphitheatres.
How you reserve your space and plan your event depends on the venue you need and whether you are a Concordia Staff or Faculty, part of a Student Association or a member of the public.
To see who manages the space you would like to request, refer to the Designated Space Administrators (DSA) list.
What is a Designated Space Administrator (DSA)? Designated Space Administrators (DSAs) manage and book all venues across the campus. Depending on the venue, you will make your reservation through Hospitality Concordia, or through another individual who manages that venue.
You can always contact Hospitality Concordia for venue suggestions if you do not know where to start, or check out some of our featured venues for inspiration.
Select from below for space request instructions:
Visit the MyEvents portal. The portal is also accessible in Carrefour's My CU Account (for faculty and staff). For assistance, check out the MyEvents user guide.
- If the venue is managed by Hospitality Concordia, Staff and Faculty may submit space requests through MyEvents. Once you log in, you will be able to browse through our venues and their availability ("Browse" tab), and have access to a wealth of event-planning resources and documents, checklists, university policies and forms.
- Students who have a valid Concordia ID may browse venues and availability for student events, but only authorized booking officers that are part of a Student Association registered with the Dean of Students Office may submit the request on the their behalf. To find out who your booking officer is, please contact the Dean of Students Office.
