The rooms in LCH exist for the benefit of all LCH residents. For this reason, we ask that anyone reserving space in LCH follow the rules listed below:

Lauder College House residents have full access to Open Access Rooms at all times in accordance with the House’s room use policy and when not reserved. Common Rooms require a room reservation at least two business days in advance and Programming Spaces require a room reservation at least one week in advance.  Residents can also reserve Open Access Rooms to be sure the space is available for their use during a specific date/time.  All requests must be approved by the Office Staff.  We ask you request a space for no more than 4 hours at a time. Only LCH Senior Staff will be allowed to make reoccuring reservation requests.

Non Lauder College House residents have access to Open Access Rooms, Common Rooms, and Programming Spaces in accordance with the House’s room use policy.  These rooms exist for the benefit of the LCH residents; however, we also recognize that LCH is a member of both the University and West Philadelphia communities.  Non-residents can reserve these spaces through the Google Form linked here: https://forms.gle/V7rGMzeskb9HDi9A8 OR by emailing the Main Office – lauder@collegehouses.upenn.edu.

Non Lauder College House residents can NOT request reoccuring reservations.

Room reservations are first-come, first-serve. Request must be approved by the House Office Staff. Residents can only reserve one space at a time. Reservations for Open Access and Common Spaces (listed below) must be made AT LEAST one business day prior to the scheduled event. Programming spaces (listed below) require a room reservation AT LEAST one week in advance.

No same-day requests will be approved.

Additionally, any request submitted after 4pm will not be processed until the following business day. This means any event submitted after 4pm on Friday will not be reviewed until Monday, if you wish to reserve a space for a time over the weekend, your request must have been received before 4pm on Friday. 

Lauder College House reserves the right to cancel or deny a reservation request at any time. Please note that LCH staff and residents are given priority for room reservations. Use of our spaces requires the person or organization reserving the space to take full responsibility for the equipment in there. If any damage is made to the equipment, the person or organization reserving the space may be liable for any repairs or replacements.
