Room Reservation Policies

Classroom and Conference Room Reservation Policies

Scheduling
General hours for room reservations are 7:30 am-5:30 pm Monday-Friday. For room reservation requests outside the general hours, please allow a two-business day approval time to ensure building access.

When making requests, please consider any additional time needed for setting up prior to the event and tearing down afterwards. This needs to be factored into the start and end times.

FIC room reservations may not be scheduled on Nebraska Innovation Campus during home football game days.

Food and Drinks
Food and drinks are only allowed in designated areas. Each person is responsible to clean-up after themselves!

No buffet or food serving lines are allowed in FIC 277 Auditorium. Food must be served outside the classroom. Then, food may be consumed by individuals in the classroom.

Event coordinators are responsible to clean up immediately after their event. If there are spills, report them immediately to Sharisa Heier (sheier3@unl.edu, 402-472-2905, FIC 232) or Julie Reiling (jreiling2@unl.edu, 402-472-2529, FIC 271). If you need additional trash cans for your event, please contact Sharisa Heier.

Technology
USB drives are not available in our classrooms and conference rooms. Please use an online Cloud storage service.

Rules and Safety
Rooms are to be left in the same orderly fashion in which they are originally found. Equipment is to be turned off, white boards cleared, trash picked up, and the furniture returned to its original configuration before leaving the space.

Events must be conducted in an orderly fashion and within the confines of the assigned room in order to not disturb the classes and offices located in the surrounding areas.

Rooms remain unlocked; therefore, DO NOT leave any personal or departmental belongings unattended in rooms; University of Nebraska-Lincoln cannot be held responsible if anything is lost, damaged, or stolen.

All special events held in FIC rooms are subject to the Youth Activity Safety Policy.

Guest and On-Street Parking
Guest and on-street parking at NIC is metered (pay by phone or pay station). Use the Passport Parking app to pay for parking on-street or in the paved lot north of Transformation Drive and the Conference Center. Metered parking is enforced Monday-Saturday from 8:00 am-6:00 pm.

Special event guests are not eligible to park in the lot surrounding FIC unless they have a proper NIC parking permit. If they do not have a permit, they will be ticketed and ask to move their vehicle.
