How to Reserve a Residence Hall Lounge Space

The ORLL allows any Tufts recognized group (i.e., residential staff, student organizations, academic and administrative departments, etc.) to reserve lounge space in various residence halls across campus. In order to reserve a lounge space, please send an e-mail (at least 72 hours in advance of reservation date) to reslife@tufts.edu with the following information: name of organization, contact name, brief summary of event, and date/time of reservation.
(Please be sure to submit alternate lounge spaces as our spaces fill up quickly.)

If the space is available the office staff will confirm the date/time of reservation with the program contact person. If the requested space is not available the office staff will notify the contact person of the request status and upon permission, attempt to reserve another lounge space on campus. Once the space has been confirmed the office staff will notify the Residence Director of that building.

*Reserving the Sophia Gordon Multipurpose Room (MPR)

Effective immediately, reservations for the Sophia Gordon Multipurpose Room will be made entirely through R25 online. This includes all student groups, organizations, departmental functions, academic lectures, etc., occurring at any time in the space- weekday, weekend, evening or otherwise.

Student groups/organizations, once they have completed their request online, will be required to send a representative to attend an Event Registration Meeting (10am, Fridays in the Zamparelli Room in the Campus Center) before their event can be approved. More information regarding this meeting will be sent via email to the requesting party. Note: academic and departmental administrative staff reservations do not need to complete this step.

During the event, all participants must be sure to adhere to ALL residential and university-wide policies. The reserved space must be returned to its original state once the event is complete. In order to comply with campus-wide quiet hours policy, events must end (including cleanup and break-down) no later than 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 1:00 a.m. Friday through Saturday.

Restrictions/Blackout Dates: No events will be permitted in the MPR during Reading Days and Final Exam period at the end of each semester as a courtesy to residents of Sophia Gordon Hall who require the space for studying. Please consult the Academic Calendar for the most current dates of Final Exams.

More information about reserving the space, including room layout, can be found in the Sophia Gordon Policies for Use.
