Reserve Hyde Hall

Hyde Hall spaces are used regularly year-round for faculty development programs and activities offered by the Institute for the Arts and Humanities, which is located there.

The Institute welcomes outside groups who wish to reserve its public spaces, when available, on a first-come, first-served based. Priority is given to groups of faculty and to UNC departments and administrative groups.

Hyde Hall is available free of charge for activities related to IAH's central mission of supporting faculty work in the arts, humanities and qualitative social sciences. Groups of this type that use Hyde Hall are responsible for any security fees and for clean-up. Final determination on a waiver of building use fees will be made by the IAH director or executive director.

Please note that the Institute does not have an event staff to set up rooms, assist with technology, arrange for catering and to clean up after events that are held in Hyde Hall. Groups who reserve spaces must make their own arrangements for catering and clean up.

The IAH will schedule university movers to set up event spaces once room reservations are confirmed (Reservation Request Form).

Space Reservations

Room reservation requests must be initiated using the online Reservation Request form.

Demand for space is high. Please contact the IAH at least six weeks, but no more than six months, in advance to heighten the Institute's ability to accommodate your request.

The continued use of Hyde Hall is contingent upon compliance with Institute policies and procedures.

Hours of Operation

Normal operating hours for Hyde Hall are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday.

The Institute can accommodate events scheduled outside of normal operating hours with four weeks' notice. This allows time to schedule security, which is required for all use of the building outside normal operating hours.

Security for After-Hours and Weekend Events

The university requires that events booked for evening and weekend use must schedule a police officer through the UNC Department fo Public Safety (approximately $40/hour, three-hour minumum).

Charges

Room rental charges for event spaces, listed below, are payable to the Institute for the Arts and Humanities via account adjustments or check. The Institute issues invoices for room rentals monthly.

Technology Training

Groups who wish to use rooms with technology (Incubator, Seminar Room, University Room) must receive training in advance by contacting Rob Noel, rob@unc.edu.

Clean Up

Groups who reserve Hyde Hall are responsible for leaving spaces as they found them. If food is served, please make arrangements to remove all food and trash, and clean any areas used for preparation and serving.

Trash should be placed in the large, lidded garbage can located in the Swain Parking Lot, near the back entrance to Hanes Art Center. No plates, cups, napkins, serving platters, food or other event-related items may remain in the room after the event ends. (Note: Many caterers offer clean up and trash removal as part of their contracted service.)

Cancellations

For most events, notice of cancellation must be given three business days in advance. Events that require special security arrangements must be canceled at least three weeks in advance. All applicable fees will be assessed for reservations canceled on shorter notice.

Publicizing Events

When publicizing your event, please indicate that it will be held at the Institute for the Arts and Humanities, Hyde Hall, followed by the room name and/or number.
