Event Management and the Harvey Media Center offer A/V services and equipment in Premier event spaces that are not part of the “standard offering” of the space. We consider these items “above and beyond” the standard equipment in the space. These items are billable to all Student Affairs departments, SU & university recognized student groups, University departments, and external clients.

For a complete list of additional premier space A/V equipment and services, for a fee, please review the attachment here:

Harvey Media Center (HMC) offers audio and video equipment for rental to students, staff, and faculty of Washington University in St. Louis. Equipment is rented at a minimal cost and available for pickup from Harvey Media Center in the DUC. We also provide technical consultations to assist with events in Campus Life spaces.

Departments or student groups who are interested in renting self service AV equipment or scheduling a cosultation can submit your request through Harvey Media Center.
