I need a specific AV setup, can you do that?

The University provides basic, smart technology instructional media equipment such as LED monitors, LCD projectors, screens, and computers with audio capabilities in many spaces. Additional audio-visual items are available at extra cost. University reserves the right, at its discretion, to require an A/V tech at the customer’s expense if the event necessitates one. Complex events requiring A/V support will be charged the hourly rate for the support staff (2 hour minimum). Requests for A/V equipment or personnel must be made at least two (2) weeks prior to the event date. Late requests may not be accommodated and/or may result in additional charges.

We need the room laid out in a specific way for our event, can you do that?

Cal Poly Humboldt offers an array of rooms that provide some fixed and some flexible set-up configurations, based on code compliance and equipment inventory. Classrooms are reserved “as is”, with existing furniture and layouts. Moving furniture to or from classrooms to accommodate event activities is not permitted. Users will not be charged for a standard room set up.

We're going to need some additional help for our event, can you provide an extra person?

Staff may be required to support any event hosted on campus. This includes audio-visual, operations, event coordination, space access and/or event support staff. Due to the nature and complexity of an event, or if required based on the facility, staff may be required as an additional labor cost to the User. 

Requests for use of the Lumberjack Arena, Redwood Bowl, and music/theatre facilities may require the services and availability of event and/or technical staff.

The JVD requires trained staff in the operation of equipment, lighting, audio visual and acoustical enhancements. Therefore, any use of the space will also require the availability of a trained auditorium technician (as approved by the Theatre Director or CES).
