Brompton functions first and foremost as a<br>residence. On occasion it is used by others as the University\u2019s way of extending its presence and<br>good will to the surrounding community and to friends of the University who support its mission and<br>goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before inquiring about the use of Brompton, campus event planners should make every effort to<br>reserve other University venues first. A wide variety of venues exists across both University<br>campuses suitable for meetings, retreats, conferences and other functions. Under no circumstance<br>should Brompton be considered an extension of the two campuses for regular meeting space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-availability\">Availability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Brompton is available Monday through Friday. Weekday events must begin no earlier than 10:00<br>a.m. and end by 9 p.m. If the President is scheduled to attend an event, the time parameters may be<br>changed with approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brompton may only be used on Saturdays and Sundays for functions that are hosted by the<br>President, those they plan to attend, or those that are reserved by groups in which the President is<br>directly involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members of the University of Mary Washington community may request the use of Brompton a<br>minimum of 45 days and up to one year in advance of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-booking-protocol\">Booking Protocol<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The requester should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Read these guidelines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/president\/contact-us\/brompton\/\">Brompton Event Space Request Form<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the completed form is received, the Special Assistant to the President for Events will evaluate<br>the event for compliance with appropriate use guidelines and check the availability of Brompton.<br>The Special Assistant to the President for Events will then forward the event request to the<br>President\u2019s Office for approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon approval from the President\u2019s Office, the Special Assistant to the President for Events will<br>contact the requester with a status update. Should the President be unavailable to approve the<br>request, the Special Assistant to the President for Events and the Chief of Staff will approve the<br>request. Whenever possible, the requester will be contacted within three days of receipt of the<br>request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All events held at Brompton require catering (see Standards).
