Duffield Hall is dedicated to teaching and research in science and engineering. As such, the building is used by students and researchers 24 hours a day, all year long. Areas can be sectioned off for specific use but the building is never closed. If you are considering using Duffield for an event, you should be prepared to be a co-user along with students, faculty, and researchers. Pedestrian through-traffic and daily student and campus business may limit plans to use large areas for an exclusive purpose.
Those wishing to reserve Duffield Hall space should submit a completed copy of the online rental reservation form. If you have full details of your event, have all necessary insurances documented, and forms filled out, please forward these documents and your full fee payment as well as a $500 damage-cleanup-cancellation deposit ($150 for student groups) to Duffield Hall coordinator, P128 Phillips Hall.
Final confirmation will be made upon receipt of the submitted Rental Contract and pre-payment. If you later discover that changes are necessary for your event, please contact the Duffield Hall coordinator immediately at 607 255-1441 or duffield_reservations@ece.cornell.edu.
Each event must assign an event coordinator who will be the point of contact for reservation and payment and must be present during the entire event and cleanup.
