Tables & Chairs

Three 6-foot tables and one 4-foot table are available to rent for use on the Diag, in campus buildings, or within a mile of campus.  Six folding chairs are also available.

The Diag: You must obtain a Diag permit from the Office of Student Activities and Leadership (SAL) prior to reserving the tables or chairs for use on the Diag.  There is no fee for the permit unless you have special needs such as electricity, amplification, etc. For more information about Diag reservation policies, contact the Office of Student & Leadership (SAL) in Room 2205 of the Michigan Union, or call them at 734-763-5900.

Posting Wall at Angell Hall, Chemistry Atrium, and East Hall Atrium: You must obtain permission from LSA Facilities prior to reserving the tables or chairs for use in Angell Hall or the Chemistry Atrium.  There is no charge for the use of the space at the Posting Wall or Chemistry Atrium. The East Hall Atrium is available for events (there is a charge) but not for setting up tables and chairs to promote your organization. The coordinator highly recommends that you contact her in advance to check the availability of space (Melissa, 764-0323 or email mksm@umich.edu). Once availability has been confirmed, there is a reservation form that needs to be completed, signed by a staff member in SOAS, and submitted to LSA Facilities. Download the request form here.

Reserving other LSA Classrooms/Auditoriums: You must obtain permission from SOAS prior to reserving the tables or chairs for use in LSA classrooms and auditoriums not listed above. Contact SOAS at 2400 Michigan Union, soas@umich.edu, 734-763-5767. Download room request forms here.

Reserving classrooms in non-LSA buildings: Contact the Administrative Office for that specific college/school.

Pick up & delivery

You pick up the tables and/or chairs yourself. They are slightly cumbersome because of their size, but they are very lightweight. An average size person can reasonably manage two tables (or one table and two chairs). The SORC does not offer delivery of tables or chairs.

Cleaning / Replacement Cost

Your group is responsible for returning tables and chairs to The SORC clean and unharmed.  Misuse may result in additional charges for necessary cleaning or replacement.  When you sign a contract to rent a table and/or chairs from The SORC, you agree to return the items in thier original condition to The SORC or pay the applicable cleaning or replacement costs.

Lead Time

In most cases you can pick up tables or chairs with little or no notice.  However, during the warm months, these items are higher in demand, and may be booked in advance (hence, unavailable).  In order to use these items, an authorized signer for your group must be present to sign the contract.
