Who We Are

Facilities Reservations & Event Services (FRES) is a part of Facilities and Management Services (FMS) and is responsible for coordinating all aspects of reservations of general-use lecture rooms, conference rooms, auditoriums and theater space, athletic facilities, recreation or outdoor spaces, and specialty use spaces. Event planners can use this page as a tool through which cost, location, and service needs can be explored in the planning of any event to take place on the Chico State campus. Please browse around this website to explore the numerous space/room options, services, and service centers available on campus.

Event Request Forms Are Now In Astra!

The majority of event related requests are now done directly in Astra. Users are automatically assigned "Guest Access" permissions when logging into Astra Schedule with their Chico State credentials. This allows non-approved Astra users (staff/faculty) the ability to view the General Use Conference and Lecture Room Calendars. Event requests should still be submitted through your college/department ASC or appropriate scheduling contact as request options are limited under this role.

Students still need to visit Student Life & Leadership (SLL) to place their event requests.

Room/Space Request Form, AV Tech/Theatre Use Form, and Warren's Center Request Form (AEWC) will no longer be accepted. Only requests submitted through the updated Astra Schedule - Event Workflow will be accepted moving forward for events and university space.

Please view the Astra Training(opens in new window) for more information.

Space & Event Requests

Request forms are now in Astra under the Events tab. Select "Request Event" to select your date, time, and desired location.
