IMPORTANT INFO for Events at IBB

We encourage people and groups to reserve extra time before an event to set up (e.g. gain access to the space, set up AV, catering) and after for reset and cleanup after event.
For any event with 100+ expected attendees, GTPD security must be requested by the hosting group for the duration of the event, per GT policy (approx. $160.00 for four hour minimum). *If this expense is prohibitive, please contact connect@ibb.gatech.edu.
For any event that will include alcohol, the hosting group is responsible for securing GT alcohol permissions prior to event. GT alcohol permissions event form here.
GT preferred caterers must be used for any catering orders over $400, per event: complete list here.
Event space requests are considered tentative until reviewed and approved by the IBB event staff.
All events that take place in IBB spaces must follow GT event guidelines and policies.
IBB events receive priority for these spaces and all other requests are reviewed based on availability and association with bioengineering and bioscience.
IBB strives to be eco-conscious. Using compostable or recyclable serving ware for catering orders is preferred. Helium-filled balloons are not permitted in the building due to the global helium shortage.
