Planning an event for the School of Architecture community? This is your one-stop-shop for all things events, including instructions for securing space, staff, and resources, as well as recommendations for vendors, promotion, and beyond.
Please note that this is a living document that will be updated regularly. Please get in touch with the Dean's Office if you notice any errors or emissions.
The first step in planning for ANY School of Architecture event should be the completion of the Events Request Survey. This short survey helps SOA staff coordinate schedules, timing, space reservations, and necessary support.
For most events, significant staff support is needed at all stages of an event. In order to secure support from the Business Office, Dean's Office, IT team and Communications, event planners should complete this Events Request Survey at the earliest stage in the planning process, as soon as a date has been proposed or solidified.
As you're considering dates for your event, please consult the Master Calendar. The Master Calendar is managed by the Dean's Office and is regularly updated with relevant events and can be a great reference for scheduling. The Master Calendar is different than the more public-facing calendar on the School of Architecture website, but does include events and information relevant to School of Architecture students, faculty, and staff including dates for the Lectures & Exhibitions Series, Development events, Career Services, committee meetings, school and program-specific events, as well as holidays and Austin regional events.
