Reservations

Requests for space must be made by completing the Event Space Reservation Form. Reservation forms will be reviewed by the executive director of Events Management and Facilities Rental to determine if the event meets FIT's requirements.

Once an event is approved, a contract and invoice will be executed. Clients are required to sign and return the contract along with payment in full (preferably by credit card) for space rental and estimated labor. Space is not guaranteed until both the contract and payment are received in the Office of Events Management and Facilities Rental. FIT will bill the client for additional labor, equipment, and any other charges incurred at the conclusion of the event per our  Rates and Fees.
