Student Union Building Reservation Services

The Student Union Building [SUB] serves as the primary meeting center on the campus of Baylor University for registered student organizations, campus departments, and, at limited times of the year, organizations and businesses from the community. The SUB is an ideal setting for meetings, conferences, or special events, with its central location, 11 meeting rooms, event amenities, and catering services.

The Assistant Director of Student Union schedules designated "meeting and/or event" space in the SUB and dedicated portions of exterior lawn space [SUB Bowl, Vera Martin Daniel Plaza, the Quadrangle, and Fountain Mall]. Our knowledgeable, friendly staff will work with your group to ensure that your event is hosted and supported in every way possible, letting you concentrate on the experience.
