You can book a room in the key centre for your society to use through the University Chaplain Allan Smith.
For the Key Centre ‘normal’ hours of operation (Monday to Friday 8am to 10pm) Allan asks that people use the online form on studynet. (

For bookings that include times outside those hours Allan has a separate form, which he sends out by email. Please contact Allan via
chaplain@herts.ac.uk
The most important restrictions are: 1. Bookings are only permitted for events that fit in with the ethos of the centre as ‘promoting spirituality, faith and ethics’
2. Events which expect to have more than 30 people attending must have stewards who have been appropriately briefed to be responsible for safety and security.
The key Centre has two rooms, the Rotunda (primarily used as a space for worship and reflection) which will accommodate up to 80 people and the Meeting Room (primarily used as a meeting area or common room) which can hold up to 30 people and has a small (vegetarian) kitchen.
The Rotunda has built in AV facilities and is designed to be a flexible space
(the circular design means that you can arrange the seats to align in different ways). In addition the Key Centre has the Olive Hall, but any booking here needs to be consistent with its use for Friday Prayers so there are much tighter restrictions.
The Olive Hall can accommodate up to 200 people, and can be arranged into three zones. One of these zones is permanently set aside for prayer in the Muslim tradition, the other two can accommodate around 30 people for appropriate events.
The Olive Hall currently does not have any furniture in it, so users are expected to sit on the floor (The Key centre hope to be able to offer floor cushions in the future). To keep the floors clean for prayers users are required to remove outdoor shoes before entering the Olive Hall.
Food is only permitted in the Kitchen and Meeting Room, except by permission of the University Chaplain.
