University Spaces

Use of Lambert Academic Village Amphitheater, Phi Beta Kappa Plaza, and other Outdoor Spaces

Campus organizations or individual students wishing to host events (initiations, speakers, forums, musical events, etc.) in the amphitheater in the Academic Village must have an event registration request submitted at least 15 business days (3 weeks) in advance through PhoenixCONNECT. Classes may be held on a first-come, first-serve basis, but classes may not be scheduled for the amphitheater on a routine basis. Event registration is not required for individuals and informal, small group use of the amphitheater for discussions, reflection, studying and other low-key activities.

Speakers’ Corner

To provide a convenient and visible location for spontaneous student activism and civic engagement activities/programs on campus, the Speakers’ Corner area designated by a sign in front of the Moseley Center is designated for individual students or student groups. Activities in this location that meet the following criteria are not required to be registered:

• No persons involved from outside the university.
• No amplification.
• Does not disrupt others.
• Does not damage property (including the lawn itself).
• Does not cause a dangerous condition (thus, stakes may not be planted in the ground without the approval of Physical Plant due to electrical/water lines, etc.)

Typical activities include, for example, displaying a signboard on which students may write their opinions, student speeches or handouts on a current issue, a memorial vigil, etc. The dimensions of the Speakers Corner are 160’ x 120’.
