INTERNATIONAL FORUM POLICY

The MU East International Forum has been designed to be a multipurpose facility with a range of specific equipment to assist with program endeavors. It is an excellent site for catered meals and has been approved by the University beer and wine service when a one-day event permit is obtained by University Food Service. Seating capacity runs between 170 and 200 people depending on the room arrangement.

LIGHTING
House Lights: Separate switching for house lights provides the opportunity to alter the lighting tone and density in different areas of the facility. The house lights are easily accessible on the side of the master control console located on the third tier of the Forum. House lights are both fluorescent and incandescent bulbs.

Stage Lights: Each light is complete with color frame, pipe clamp, and connector. A dimmer board provides for patch panel and an eight-channel two-scene operation. For further details, call MU Reservations Office.
SOUND
The sound system includes three speakers, 2/3-octave equalizer, mixer, amplifier, CD, cassette and tuner, and four microphone outlets. For specific information pertaining to capabilities of this equipment please contact the MU Sound and Light Supervisor.
CONTROL CONSOLE
For customer convenience, a control console is located on the third tier of seats, giving access to house lights, stage lights, sound systems controls, and video tape operation.
SOUND AND LIGHT OPERATORS
An experienced sound and light staff member will be assigned to each event once stage lights or sound system components have been requested. A self-operated sound system with a speaker’s podium is also available without an assigned sound and light operator. Current hourly sound and light operator rates are available from the MU Reservations Office.

Located in Memorial Union East, International Forum, Escape is easily accessible to both on and off campus groups wishing to host nightclub style events. Escape is a non-alcoholic nightclub operated by the Oregon State University Memorial Union.

Originally designed as a venue to host events for a primarily under 21 group, they are a high voltage environment which supports many different types of events. We currently maintain a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system that is suitable for both DJ and live band use.

RESERVATIONS POLICY

Requests for escape are made through our online reservation request system and then reviewed by the escape managers on a weekly basis. Make a Reservation at: https://plus32.safe-order.net/osumu/forms/escape.htm
Reservations made less than two weeks prior are subject to availability of the room and staffing. Any reservation canceled less than two weeks prior to the event will be subject to one half of the estimated rental rate.
Billing for the club is figured using a tiered system dependent on the user type and nature of the event being hosted. (See MU General Building Policy priority system at beginning of chapter).
Billings are rounded to the nearest half hour after the initial room reservation and the minimum 2 hours of event time.
Billing estimates will be provided, when requested by the user. However, these estimates are subject to change due to the nature of the event.
