Set up and Rentals
If you will be setting up your own event (tables, seating, etc.), be sure to check with Ann Crawford ing well in advance of your event. Chairs and tables in Janet M. Blumberg Hall normally are stored behind the blackboard. Chairs and tables for use in the Reading Room normally are stored in Starr 200, in the caterer prep area, in the two hallway closets on the second floor, or locked in Room 10 in the basement.
If you will need a projector set up for a Power Point presentation, reserve the projector and laptop as per the instructions:
- Laptop
- Projector
Be sure to make reservations well in advance of your event.
There is a small podium speaker in Janet M. Blumberg Hall and the Reading Room. These units have output for only the single podium microphone, not multiple microphones for a panel.
Special permission is required in order to hold a conference, symposia or similar event in the Reading Room (see room reservation directions above). The acoustics are not good, so you will need to plan on renting a sound system. D&K Sound (860.529.8353) has been here for numerous events and is familiar with the campus. Note: the SBA has a complicated sound system that you might borrow if you have someone knowledgeable about the equipment. If you borrow the equipment (many pieces and very heavy) be sure to protect the surfaces where you place the items with blankets so that the equipment does not mark the woodwork. A person from the SBA who is knowledgeable about the equipment must remain on-site for the duration of the event.
If you have a panel, you will need to rent table skirting or contact Michelle Helmin in the Communications Office for tablecloths and runners with the Law School logo on them. Tablecloths and runners borrowed need to be returned cleaned and pressed.
The School has a standing purchase order with Whalen's on Hurlbutt Street in West Hartford (860.953.0875). Contact Donna Gionfriddo for information. Michelle Helmin also has other items with the Law School logo on them, including banners and backdrops.
