Reservation Policy

Our program-managed spaces at 220 York Street are the Ballroom (room 101), Chapter Room (room 201), and Seminar Room (room 202). These spaces are not meant for public/advertised events or open performances. 

TDPS curricular productions, classes, and programming take priority, with curricular projects taking the highest priority. We require the curricular project on deck to plan their rehearsal schedules two weeks in advance, allowing other curricular projects or Yale groups to reserve spaces 7 days in advance.

All room reservation requests can be made through 25Live starting in September 2026. In the meantime, please email alana.conti@yale.edu with requests.

Please note that all reservations are subject to change.

Room Neutralization Policy

To maintain a clean and functional space for all users, we require that every individual neutralizes the room before leaving. This includes:

  • Returning all furniture and equipment to its designated place.
  • Ensuring that all surfaces are clean and free of personal items.
  • Disposing of any trash or recycling in the appropriate bins.

Even if you find that the room was not neutralized when you arrived, you are still required to neutralize the room before you leave.

If you arrive and the room is not neutralized, please take the following steps:

  • Take a photo of the room as you found it.
  • Send the photo to alana.conti@yale.edu with a brief description.

This will allow us to address the concern directly with the previous users.
