Room pricing and guidelines
Setup/Labor fees & Room Pricing
There are various rooms in Wood Center that maintain a standard setup which internal users will not be charged for. Deviations from the standard setups may result in charges. 'Setup' is the time it takes to prepare a space for your event and teardown is the cost to reset it after an event. For those rooms requiring a setup, the fees can be found on our updated pricing sheet which also includes the general room pricing guidelines: WOOD CENTER SCHEDULING PRICES PDF

Room setups
Determining room arrangements through our office will be simplified if you plan in advance how you want the room to look. Include what elements you feel are necessary to achieve your event goals. Consider items such as food tables, staging, sound equipment, and dance floor, etc. We can guide you through this process.
The physical setup of the meeting rom environment can have a huge effect on the success of any session - from the largest convention plenary to the smallest breakout session or executive seminar. So it pays to give special attention to seating arrangements.
- Give people room to shift comfortably without disturbing others; don't jam chairs or people together.
- Allow easy access to and from seating; consider factors like aisle locations (and widths), distance between rows of chairs, location of seating in relation to room entrances and exits.
