Many of our modern, purpose built and well-equipped spaces can be reserved for activities, events, group work, meetings, study and more. They are available to both current students and, in some cases, the wider community.

How do I access or book spaces if I am a current Teesside University student? Simply contact communities@tees-su.org.uk to discuss your requirements whether they are for societies or other purposes. A member of the team will respond to you as soon as possible and, where your request can be accommodated they will assist you with completing it.

How do I book spaces for an external event whether I am a current Teesside University student or member of the public? If you're looking for a space for events that are not being directly organised by current students or are for a range of people to attend like awards presentations, conferences, family celebrations, festivals, live music and other performances, sales or something else please contact venuehire@tees-su.org.uk and if it can be accommodated our team will assist with you.
