Film Companies and Movie Location Scouts
The University supports the Central Texas movie and film industries and is pleased to accommodate requests to shoot scenes on campus. Please review the above steps if you are interested in HT space. Contact Community Outreach to schedule a time to review and take pictures of the space you are scouting.
Booking Space Through Faculty and Staff
Huston-Tillotson University faculty and staff are actively involved in the community and are approached to book rooms and spaces on campus for meetings and events. In many cases, classroom instruction is tied to a campus event or a reciprocal relationship exists between the faculty/staff and the organization seeking space on campus. In those cases, it is the faculty’s and/or staff’s responsibility to ensure that the required paperwork has been filed with Events Management. If you have scheduled an event on campus through an HT faculty or staff and the event is not on file with Community Outreach, you will not be permitted to hold your event on campus. You are asked to avoid this scenario by ensuring that your event has been scheduled properly.
Non-Profit Organizations
The University is pleased to support the programs and initiatives of non-profit organizations. However, the University’s relationship with auxiliary enterprises such as Ala Carte Menu Services, Inc. catering and facilities does not permit the absorption of charges incurred by outside individuals or groups. Individuals or groups booking space on campus will be responsible for catering, security, janitorial service, technical support, and overtime charges associated with the event.
For the protection of you and/or your organization, the Huston-Tillotson University reservation process must be documented in writing through the completion of the required forms, including liability coverage, before meeting on campus.
