How to reserve space

Space in Weill Hall may be reserved only by members of the Ford School community for events and activities tied to the school's mission. Read more about our reservation policies and available facilities, then request a room. Please direct questions to fspp-facilities@umich.edu.

Step 1: Read Ford School policies

Space in Weill Hall is only available for reservation by members of the Ford School community for activities related to the mission of the Ford School. A minimum of four Ford School students must be in attendance for non-Ford School events. Rooms may be reserved for four-hour blocks of time. If there are circumstances in which more time is required, please contact the facilities manager at fspp-facilities@umich.edu.

Exceptions do apply to the five “classrooms”—Walter and Leonore Annenberg Auditorium, Betty Ford Classroom, Paul and Nancy O’Neill Classroom, Max and Marjorie Fisher Classroom, and the David G. and Judith C. Frey, Frey Foundation Classroom—as these classrooms are generally scheduled for U-M courses during the day.

Though the registrar controls the daytime scheduling of these rooms, requests for the use of the space should go through the Ford School facilities manager. Please click on the room description links below for more detailed information about room availability and reservation arrangements.

For those needing to reserve office space for staff, faculty, PhD students, or research assistants—please read the Office Allocation Procedures and complete the Office Space Request Form. Completed forms should be returned to the 4th floor "Facilities" mailbox.

Step 2: View floor plans, room descriptions, and check availability

Floor plans list available rooms on the 1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd floor, and 5th floor.

Note: BF = Barrier Free, Extra = auxiliary chairs available

Step 3: Reserve a room

Once you've determined that your purpose falls within Ford School policies, and identified the right room for your event, click the 'request' link in the table above and complete the room reservation form.

Further, do not leave your office/work space open and unsecured if you are leaving the space. Weill Hall is open to the public from 7:30am until 6:00pm Monday-Friday. The card reader doors lock at 6:00pm; all valid UM-ID holders can access the building until 7:30pm. After 7:30pm (M-F) and weekends, access is restricted to faculty, staff and students of the Ford School. If you are having issues gaining access to the building with your UM-ID, please let us know. Note: Expired UM-ID cards will not work on the card readers. Exterior doors should not be propped open for any reason. If you find a door being held or propped open, please take the time to close it.
