The Dining Hall

If you wish to reserve the Dining Hall, please click here. Note that reserving the dining hall requires a different (and more complex) procedure than the other rooms. Please allow three weeks to complete that process.

The Grille


The Grille may be reserved by Lowellians for Lowell House private parties, with prior approval from the Grille Tutor, Resident Dean and the House Committee. Only one Grille party will be approved each weekend. Once approved, hosts must fill out and submit the Grille party forms to the House office the Monday before the event. Failute to submit these forms by the Monday prior to the event means that the event will be disapproved / cancelled. Quiet hours for parties in the Grille are at 1am.
