Following are special conditions regarding the use of space in the IGB (in order of priority):

  1. Groups conducting research in the IGB whose events are related to their research activities.
  2. Central and campus administrative units holding events important to the campus as a whole.
  3. Units or individuals working in areas scientifically or technically related to IGB research area.
  4. Campus units or individuals holding events of academic importance to the campus as a whole but are unrelated to IGB programs.
  5. Off-campus organizations whose events are unrelated to the IGB will rarely be granted approval.

Use of IGB facilities may be accorded to organizations other than those categorized above, within or outside the University, when such use does not interfere with other planned activities, and when the best interests of the University would appear to be served.

Meetings/events will be directed to utilize the most appropriately sized, and available conference space. This may mean that meetings/events with smaller groups will be directed to a theme space or other appropriately sized conference space.
