CHOOSING A SPACE TO HOLD YOUR EVENTThe building design is intended to be open and accessible with a range of student social spaces and learning commons within the building.

When organising an event, consideration needs to be made regarding access for both your guests and for others using the building in these open spaces.

• All teaching rooms and room numbers are located on the NeW Space floor plans available at newcastle.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/345111/New-Space-Floor-Plan.pdf

• For the identified rooms that can be used to hold events, there are a range of gathering spaces located outside the venue rooms on each floor that can be used for mingling, or set up as a registration/exhibition space for a symposium/talk/lecture.

• The proposed use of these gathering spaces must be included in the booking request.

• Functions and events should only be considered in open spaces if they do not impact the staff or students that may be using the spaces for study or work.

• Should you require extra classrooms/meeting rooms for your break, these could be available depending on timetable requirements.

• There is a loading dock located on the ground floor of NeW Space which has the capacity to deal with a maximum of five (5) vehicles at any one time. The loading dock is for the receiving of goods and services and is not accessible by staff. The loading dock will be in operation 24/7 and can be accessed via restricted swipe access only. Please note, the pedestrian access road leading to the loading dock is not available for events as it needs to remain clear for emergency services.

AVAILABILITY• Event organisers wanting to hold events in NeW Space

need to consider holding the event on weekends, during semester break or in the evenings (subject to timetabling) after classes have concluded to minimise disruption to students and classes. newcastle.edu.au/current-students/study-essentials/key-dates

• Booking of teaching rooms within NeW Space may be approved after review of timetable needs. Current timetabling has students commencing classes from 8:00am to 10:00pm weekdays.

HIRING OF ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENTIf you require additional furniture for your event this will need to be sourced from an external provider. We recommend Newcastle Event Hire for function and event furniture.

External AV companies who have worked closely with UON include:

• A1 Audio

• Scion Audio

• Fordtronics Video and Sound

SECURITYIf your event is after-hours (weekdays after 5:00pm or weekends/public holidays), an email to notify security needs to be sent to [email protected]

If you require a building Warden or First Aid Officer, or you feel there may be security concerns e.g. potential protesters or persons of concern in attendance, a security Maximo should be submitted and the Safety and Security Manager will make a determination as to whether a Security Officer/s will be deployed.

PARKING AND TRANSPORTIt is important to note that there are limited parking spaces in the City campus buildings. Visitors to these venues will need to find solutions that meet their needs and these can include on street parking, parking in nearby parking stations, catching public transport or using a taxi service.
