Event Reservation Types

The Schmieding Center’s auditorium and classrooms may be used by organizations for meetings and educational forums under three categories: hosted, sponsored, and use. Hosted and sponsored events may occur during normal business hours only. Food and drinks are allowed in each of our venues, but we ask that you clean up after your event. Rates for each category are as follows (click the link for definitions):

Schmieding center auditorium
Our 125-seat auditorium has state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment and is wheelchair accessible.
Schmeiding center classroom
Our twin classroom spaces, also with state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment, can each comfortably seat up to 25 persons.

Hosted Event

There is no charge for hosted events, however, all donations are greatly appreciated.

A hosted event is planned by the Schmieding Center in collaboration with organizations for the benefit of UAMS, UAMS partners, and/or the general public.  Hosted events occur during normal Schmieding Center business hours and are open to the general public usually at no cost for participation.  There is no facility use charge for hosted events, however, donations are greatly appreciated to offset facility expenses.

Sponsored Event

Four (4) hours or less – $25 per day
Over (4) hours – $50 per day

A sponsored event is planned by organizations without the involvement of Schmieding Center, UAMS, or UAMS partners, but is, in the final determination of Schmieding Center administration, an event that closely aligns with goals of the Schmieding Center for service to health professionals or the general public.  Events by organizations that collect tuition or membership fees from event participants will not be sponsored.  Organizations may not collect registration fees for public participation, however, the cost of continuing education or certification fees may be collected.   Sponsored events occur during normal Schmieding Center business hours.  Sponsored events will be charged a daily facility usage rate in 4 or 8-hour blocks.
