Lee Center Space Reservations

The primary objective of the Rose Bente Lee Center is to serve members of the Marymount community, including students, alumni, faculty, and staff. Informal student use of the facility for social or recreational activities and events planned by student groups is considered a priority. Registered student groups and Marymount University departments may request use of various facilities by completing a space request form. Every effort will be made to accommodate group preferences for space.

Members of the Marymount Faculty and Staff may put in reservation request through the Astra Scheduling System found in the Marymount Portal. You may also email lcenter@marymount.edu for assistance. All others should email the aforementioned email address for help in booking an event.
