Hess Commons Policies

Hess Commons is a multi-purpose room located in the Allan Rosenfield Building on the Columbia University Medical Center campus.

Three calendar administrators oversee the reservation approval, modification, and cancelation processes. They are:

Maria Enriquez: requests from departments, faculty and staff

Cheryl Keise: requests from student organizations

Maggie Wiggin: course scheduling

To book Hess Commons, use the online Hess reservations system. Simply click on "submit event" in the grey calendar box and make sure to allow for pop-up windows to use the date feature. Please note that academic use (course scheduling) is given priority over all other event requests.

Hess Commons scheduling follows the same timeline as CUMC classroom reservations. After courses are scheduled, all event requests must fall into the operating schedule. Please email an administrator above if you have questions about Hess Commons.
