Building Use Policy

Room use: We have many regular renters and one-time events at the Lucy Parsons Center. Please respect other groups’ use of the space by leaving the room you use as you found it. You may rent other spaces in the building with permission and extra payment unless otherwise agreed upon.

Clean-up: Please leave enough time to set up the room to fit your group’s needs and to leave the room as you found it. There is a checklist of required clean up tasks for every rental. Clean-up must be done and everyone gone by the end of your reservation time.

Music: Any music must stop or be very quiet (only heard in one room) at 10pm. 

Candles & incense: No candles, incense, or open flames of any kind are allowed.

Entry arrangement: For most rentals, an LPC volunteer will let you into the building, and will remain on site for the duration, unless arranged otherwise. Please be mindful of others in the building and neighborhood. Be mindful of noise as well as the security of the entry doors. Keep the entry door locked or monitored at all times. You are responsible for anyone in the building for your event. 

Decorations: No decorations with glitter. No confetti.  No tape on the walls (except blue painter’s tape). 

Substance Use: The use of alcohol and other legal substances is restricted to events where such activity is approved. Illegal substances should not be used or brought into the building.

Unpermitted firearms are not allowed in the building.

Release of Liability: Renter agrees to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend the Lucy Parsons Center and the Lucy Parsons Institute (including its employees and representatives) from any and all liability for injury or damage including, but not limited to, bodily injury, personal injury, emotional injury, or property damage which may result from any person using the above described premises, its entrances and exits, and surrounding areas, for Renter’s purposes, regardless of whether such injury or damage results from the negligence of  the Lucy Parsons Center and the Lucy Parsons Institute (including its employees and representatives) or otherwise.
