Facilities Rentals

The Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York rents out its facilities at a fee to both CUNY and non-CUNY affiliated groups for meetings, conferences, workshops, receptions, and television and audio productions, depending on availability.

College departments and officially recognized faculty, staff, and student groups conducting programs consistent with the College mission and objectives should consult the Event Services page.

Before requesting a space, please read our code of conduct for all visitors and guests to the Newmark J-School and our space rental policy for outside entities.

Eligibility and Approval

All space rentals are subject to review and approval by the Events Office. Outside entities must demonstrate a clear connection to the School’s mission and values.

To further its commitment to education and public service, the Newmark J-School supports the use of our facilities by non-School organizations, so long as the facility usage does not infringe upon, compete, delay or conflict with the normal operation of the School.

Priority will be given to events that:

• Advance dialogue about journalism in the public interest.
• Provide learning or networking opportunities for our students and alumni.
• Enhance the School’s reputation or partnerships within journalism.

All requests for external events must be submitted through the facilities rental request form. The Dean (or their designee) retains discretion to approve, decline, or conditionally approve rental requests.

No School facility may be utilized at any time by an outside organization without compliance with this policy.
