Reserving Other Spaces on Campus
Amherst College offers a variety of event venues. The information listed below will help you identify who to contact to reserve a space. Some locations can be found online via the Office of Communications.
Note: You must receive a reservation confirmation to access a space. A room/space reservation confirmation does not equate to registering an event or party with the Office of Student Life.
Keefe Campus Center and the O’Connor Commons
To reserve most spaces in the Campus Center or the O’Connor Commons, faculty may make an online request through Virtual EMS. All parties and events must be registered through The Amherst College Hub.
Residence Halls
To reserve space in a residence hall, contact reslife. Your request will be forwarded to the appropriate Resident Counselor and Area Coordinator. The only exception is O’Connor Commons which can be reserved through Virtual EMS
Outdoors: Main Quads and Residence Hall Lawns
To reserve these spaces, contact the Custodial Services Special Services Supervisor, Liz Pereira (epereira@amherst.edu, ext. 2367)
