Campus Partners Resources
The Conference Services and Events Office will offer guidance to the coordination of a campus department event or meeting. We welcome you to contact our office to talk through your plans, however, you will be responsible for contacting appropriate departments for your needs. In order for this coordination to happen in a timely and efficient manner for all departments, we have developed a standard timeline to be used when planning your event. This guide reflects deadlines that service providers have requested, so they can deliver a quality product to you and your event in an appropriate time frame. When these deadlines are not honored, workloads and other institutional priorities can become adversely affected.
Space – 4 weeks
Request space well in advance of your event by using 25Live. Depending on the exact space needs we recommend at the very minimum one month in advance. For larger events 3-4 months is suggested. Keep in mind that reserving your space only reserves the room. You must arrange set-up/clean-up of space, catering, campus services, and audio-visual separately.
Facilities Operations
Campus services is available Monday through Friday from 7:30a.m.-3:30p.m. They provide many behind the scene details, including table/chair delivery, podium delivery, stage set-up, and more. Campus Services MUST be contacted no later than two weeks prior to your event to request set-ups and delivery.
Lead Time: 2 weeks

Audio-Visual Equipment
You may request support for your audio visual needs for special events taking place in classrooms and other campus spaces by completing a work order for AV needs. To ensure we can accommodate as many audio visual requests as possible, we require at least four weeks advance notice when requesting event support.

Catering
As the exclusive caterer to Albion College we are proud to have Metz Dining serving our students, faculty, and staff with made from scratch meals to servicing all dietary needs and/or restrictions. The catering guide is designed to simplify your event planning and give you a feel for our fresh, contemporary menu and service options. Use them as a jumping off point for discussion as we’re happy to customize. All catering should be finalized two weeks prior to the event with confirmation of attendees 48 hours before the event.
