Basic Rental Rates
Effective June 1, 2024
Basic Rental Rates include space access and usage during normal hours of operation (9:00 a.m. to
10:00 p.m.); general room and stage illumination; basic audio amplification; electricity and HVAC.
Staffing fees and equipment rental costs will be additional for your event. These production costs will vary
depending on the specific technical (lights, sound, etc.) requirements for each event. Please review the
information about our performance spaces and daily rental rates below to determine the venue that
most matches your needs.
After you have confirmed an available date and submitted an Event Request Form, you will be asked to
complete a Technical Questionnaire. Then an on-site visit with the AUPAC Facilities and Production
Manager will be scheduled to determine the actual scope of all technical, front of house, box office and any
other needs. From this a Production Cost Estimate will be determined, and a formal agreement will be
written by Adelphi’s Auxiliary Services Department.
