Use of Tables & Chairs for Events

Facilities Services delivers and sets up tables and chairs for all college-sponsored events. Facilities Services will provide this equipment without charge as long as it is being used on campus, and until college-sponsored users deplete inventory.

When Facilities Services’ inventory is in use for college-sponsored events, and more tables or chairs are requested beyond what is in stock, the requesting departments or external groups will be responsible for paying the rental cost & delivery/pick-up fees for additional furniture.

External groups renting facilities from Lewis & Clark College will be billed for use of the tables and chairs regardless whether they are from Facilities Services’ inventory or they are rented. This charge will help provide revenue to replace tables and chairs as they age.

External groups renting facilities from Lewis & Clark College will only be able to use Facilities Services’ tables and chairs when they are not needed for college-sponsored events.

If any damage or loss occurs to the Facilities Services’ equipment or rental equipment during use by an internal or external group, the event sponsor will be charged the repair or replacement cost of the equipment.

Procedure:
Facilities Services’ inventory of tables and chairs will be available for college-sponsored events on a first come-first serve basis taken from the date of the request made through the Campus Events office.

If Facilities Services' inventory is depleted, the rental & delivery/pick-up costs for tables and chairs requested for college-sponsored events and non-college-sponsored events will be allocated to the requesting department or external group at the following rates:

• 6ft long x 30" wide folding tables
$8.50/per day
Or current market price. Other rental options available

• Metal folding Samsonite chairs
$1.10/per day
Or current market price. Other rental options available

• Pick-up and delivery fee for rental equipment (which will equal the exact cost billed by the rental company for this service)
$110.00/per delivery trip

All rental prices subject to change
