All users of a valid Brown University ID card may swipe in at the exterior doors of Steinert (at 148 Power St.) to access the Steinert practice rooms on the basement level. Use of the spaces is first-come/first-served. Hours of operation: 7am-3am from September-May; 8am-12am from June-August.

RISD students are eligible to use the Steinert practice rooms, too, and may request temporary, sponsored access. RISD students should send a request for a Sponsored ID via email to music@brown.edu. Please provide full name, date of birth, RISD email address, and mailing address.

If any user has a problem with their card access, send an email with Brown ID card number to music@brown.edu or call 401-863-3234.

Any user of a Music Department space must have signed Music faculty permission to request and reserve the room/hall. The Music faculty sponsor must be able to attend the final event(s), and must attend any and all rehearsals that are scheduled in the space requested.

All requestors must return the fully-completed Space Request Form to the Department of Music Events Coordinator in Orwig Room 101 no later than 3 weeks before the event is to occur. Requests for space and/or equipment made less than 3 weeks before an event may not be accommodated. Submitting a request is not confirmation of space. Requests will be reviewed by the Music Department and a decision will be made based on availability and academic priority. You will receive an email confirming the event from the Music Events Coordinator.

Tech Support is Limited to Music Department Events Only.  Once you submit your request, Erica Giokas, Music Events Coordinator, will discuss your tech needs and the availability of resources. You are responsible for all design of audio, visual, lighting, and for providing laptop and other media assets. All tech set up and operation must be discussed with our Tech Director, Jim Moses or Tech Coordinator, Matt Carlson. We may require a walk-through of the space with you before approving the request.

For Non-Music Dept Events and SAO: Order all tech support through SAO Event Support and Media Services, in consultation with the Music Events Coordinator. We provide the hall and safety personnel.
