Special / Outdoor Event Requests
To request the use of recognized outdoor spaces for special events, please complete the Outdoor Events Request Form [pdf]and email it to FDO-lease@sjsu.edu.
- At least 2 weeks in advance – for small events (fewer than 50 attendees with limited setup) with previously approved layouts.
- At least 30 days in advance – for large events (custom layouts and/or requiring Office of State Fire Marshal permits).
FD&O’s Outdoor Special Events process is overseen by the Associate Vice President
for Facilities Development & Operations and supported by a team of graduate student
assistants. The FDO-lease@sjsu.edu inbox is monitored once per day.
We appreciate your advance planning to help ensure efficient and timely processing
of outdoor event requests.
