Room Rental Fees and Services

Room rental fees apply to all groups renting rooms on the Hatfield campus for mission-related events, with the exception of OSU faculty, staff and students who are exempt from room rental fees. Room rental fees are waived for co-located partners ODFW, USFWS, NOAA, MOC-P, USDA, USGS and EPA.

HMSC's hours of operation are weekdays from 8 am-5 pm. After-hours events are subject to support service fees, regardless of OSU status.

Rental fees may sometimes be waived for community partners hosting mission-related events with Director’s office approval on a case-by-case basis. Co-located and community partners are responsible for all service fees associated with a room rental.  

Room rental fees range between $65 - $450/day depending on space type, occupancy, and standard equipment.  Fees are per-day unless noted.
