Pricing notesLegacy/2020 public rental brochure rates: $2,300 Hines Gallery, $2,000 532 Space, $4,000 Tafel Hall, $5,000 entire ground floor for up to four hours during standard operating hours. Saturday standard hours were only 11:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., with additional fees applying outside those times; after-hours fees are likely and the 2026 evening surcharge, staffing and access window could raise the rental materially. AV coordinator formerly priced at $100 per hour. Report's modeled total (planning model, not a venue quote): $12,000–$22,000, with the largest unknown being after-hours rental and staffing.

No pricing, F&B minimum, or catering policy is published — the site only directs inquiries to an obfuscated space-rentals email and the general phone number.
