Outdoor Space Reservation Resources

Groups interested in gathering/hosting events in the following outdoor locations are encouraged to reserve the space to assist in our goal of maintaining safety and support for the broader Penn community. Reservations help facilitate thoughtful conversations around event management and planning which is beneficial to both sponsoring organization and campus support resources.

For grass spaces in front of the High Rises and Dubois -managed by College Housing and Academic Services – https://www.collegehouses.upenn.edu/policies/reserve

For the LOVE statue, Penn Commons, and College Green (including the LOVE statue, the Button, and the Ben Statue) – managed by University Life Space & Events – https://spaceandevents.universitylife.upenn.edu/reservations/

For Locust Walk – managed by the Office of Student Affairs – https://osa.universitylife.upenn.edu/locustbannertable/

For Marches that move through campus, the best practice is to reserve space at both your starting point and end point (if these are different locations).

If there is another outdoor space a student group is interested in using and is not certain how to reserve, please reach out to the Office of Student Affairs who can be a helpful resource in discussing plans and consulting with partners: .

Should any student or group wish to plan a march, vigil, or other gathering, please contact Public Safety during your planning process if you anticipate the need for safety and security resources or have any concerns so that we may assist you to ensure the safety of your event.
