Decorations, Signs & Banners
HUB Event Services recognizes the need for decorations, signs and banners at events and will work with customers to meet their decoration and signage goals without violating building policy. Please discuss these needs at your Event Planning Meeting.
The following policies have been established in accordance to UW Fire Safety, Environmental Health & Safety, and HUB facility maintence considerations.
Decorations and Signs Policy
HUB Event Services can provide bulletin boards and easels for your decorations and signs.
- Taping, nailing, tacking and stapling any materials to walls, woodwork, or other building surfaces
is strictly prohibited.
(Tape, when removed, damages paint and causes surface deterioration)
(Tacks and staples should only be used on surfaces approved for posting) - Decorations must not disguise, cover, block or interfere with exit signs, doors, fire extinguishers,
fire sprinklers or fire alarm pull stations. Decorations may not be hung from light fixtures or fire
sprinklers.
(Fog and smoke machines are not allowed as they will activate the fire alarm system) - Decorative paper materials, stage props, draping, etc., must be flame retardant.
- Unprotected, open flames are strictly prohibited.
Banner Policy
- Banners must be made of vinyl or canvas and have metal grommets at each corner and center of
the banner.
(Paper banners are not recommended and will not be hung in the HUB) - Banners can only be hung by HUB Event Services staff.
- Labor charges for placing and removing banners apply.
- HUB Event Services must receive banners at least one business day prior to the event.
- It may not be possible to return the banner immediately after an event. Please make arrangements to pick up your banner.
- Banners cannot be hung outside the HUB.
