Bookings and Reservations

The Rankin Family Pavilion is your official gateway to welcome you to Brock University!

Within the Rankin Family Pavilion are a variety of spaces to bring your meeting, conference, or event to life. As the front door to the University, we house many options for meeting rooms, collaboration spaces, community-related events and large-scale receptions. Details of available spaces including use and administrative access, are described be and/or can be discussed by contacting the us at brocklinc@brocku.ca.

The Atrium is an open environment space that can also be used for Conferences and Meetings; its booking is managed by Conference Services (conference@brocku.ca). As its priority, usage is an open student and community space, designed to engage users in the day-to-day life of Brock LINC and to give them a place for “creative collisions” to gather, learn, ideate, navigate, collaborate, and relax.

However, we recognize and appreciate its value as a marquee event location. As a result, from time to time the Atrium may be used for larger events that:

  • Enhance the Brock LINC student/community experience; and,
  • Build the Brock LINC brand, internal partners/contributors and/or external relationships.

In addition to the larger events, some daily/weekly programming will take place in the Atrium designed to engage the broader Brock student body. This programming will take place during the regular daily activities within the Atrium.

Events from non-LINC parties will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will not be guaranteed more than six weeks in advance. Brock LINC events will always be given priority.

Note that the Atrium must remain open to the public for access to the University as well as for accessibility to Thistle Complex, Schmon Tower and the Library. The general public will likely be moving in, out and through the Atrium during your event.
