Press Building Reservation and Use
Please note: The Press Building is a new facility, and some issues are still being addressed. As a result, we reserve the right to cancel room reservations as needed for ongoing maintenance and updates.
Only Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability associates have permission to book rooms in the Press Building. The hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. No meetings are permitted outside of regular business hours or on weekends. Extended weekday hours can be arranged for events that use the whole space by completing the Press Building event reservation form. Please note that recurring meetings or events are not allowed.
