The Market bookings can be made by a Brock University Faculty or academic or administrative department with the support of a Senior Administrative Council member.
Requested events must be for attendees that are primarily invited and confirmed. The Market is booked on a “first come, first serve” basis and each booking must be approved by Conference Services prior to the commencement of event planning.
Booking Parameters
Bookings in Market Hall are restricted during Fall and Winter exam periods as well as on scheduled University closures.
No more than 1/3 of Market Hall will be booked for an event between Monday and Friday during the Fall and Winter academic terms when using the existing furniture. There is some, although limited, flexibility of space on weekends.
Private events may not be held from Monday to Friday (from September to April) unless otherwise approved. Weekday events should be open to all students, staff, and faculty.
Market Hall is a public space for the entire University and absolutely no soliciting is permitted outside of Brock University services. Access to the offices enclosing the Market Hall event space must not have their entrances obstructed by event setups under any circumstances.
All bookings must be made at least 20 business days in advance by using the Brock Campus Portal. Please allow up to three business days for the booking to be reviewed and processed.
Exceptions to this procedure can be approved by the Associate Vice-President, Ancillary Services.
