No. We do not provide rental facilities for private parties, weddings, birthdays, baby showers and other personal social events.

Any signs posted prior to the day of your event must be approved by Student Programs at Highline. We encourage you to use A board signs, balloons and other signage the day of your event to help direct the way to your space. Please do not use tape on glass or wood surfaces! You are required to remove all signage after the event is concluded.
Recommended poster size for A frame boards is 20″ x 24″. Contact Confrence and Event Services to coordinate signage placement.

Balloons

• Latex balloons are permitted for use indoors only.
• Mylar balloons are strictly prohibited. When a balloon inevitably escapes, they get stuck on the ceiling and take weeks to deflate and come down. They can also get stuck in lighting which poses a safety risk.

Glitter and confetti are prohibited.

Candles

• Open flame candles are prohibited.
• Candle flame must be enclosed in a container.
• The use of battery operated LED candles are strongly encouraged.

Decorations
Please use only blue painter’s tape or 3M damage free products when hanging decorations. Avoid taping wood and glass surfaces to avoid damage.

Only push pins are allowed on the bulletin board across campus (PLEASE no staples). Any damage caused by decorations or guest is the liability of the event host.

To hang streamers between the balcony and columns in Building 8 Mt. Townsend, you will need approximately 60′ per streamer. Please ask our Confrence and Event Services department about hanging arrangements.
