The safety of your event is our primary concern. The University of Minnesota Building Code Department will review the safeguards for public health, safety, and welfare of public gatherings held on University property or within a University owned builiding.

In addition, permits and inspections may be required for your campus events. The following items indicate what kinds of activities and setups require permits and inspections from BCD: 

• Serving food
• Setting up a tent
• Adding a stage, platform, or bleachers
• Providing heat or electricity to a space or cooking food
• Hosting inside a building not designated for public assembly
