Space Requests

The Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies facility at 640 Massachusetts Avenue NW has select spaces available to rent for meetings and events by the public, subject to availability and approval by SCS’s leadership. Limited logistical support may be provided.

Please keep in mind the SCS facility is first and foremost an environment for teaching and learning, and SCS reserves the right to determine if an event is appropriate and consistent with the mission and values of Georgetown University. As such, space requests are thoroughly reviewed on an individual basis.

All students, staff, and visitors must adhere to the current COVID-19 policies and guidelines as set forth by the Georgetown Main Campus and must remain in compliance while on Georgetown premises. This may include but is not limited to testing, mask-wearing, a requirement for vaccinations, and other protocols deemed necessary by the University.
