Licensed Venues
The University of Alberta is home to many event venues. Some, like our theatres and sports stadiums, have a Class B liquor license, meaning members of the public can be served alcohol during events. Many of our venues have a Class C license, meaning alcohol service is only intended for our staff, students, alumni, and invited guests. If you don't see the campus space you wish to use for your event listed below, please contact us for more information.
There are several facilities on campus that are booked and managed by dedicated, trained staff who will assist with your event and ensure that you have the correct license in place. They may have a license that allows them to serve the alcohol to your group, or they can help you with the procedure to suspend our institutional license and obtain your own Private Special Event License.
