Floorplan

SQUARE is a place for dialogue and exchange between all stakeholders. This idea should also be reflected in the event.

This can be achieved, for example, by

  • the participants of the event are already heterogeneous.
  • involving the students on site.
  • an additional workshop open to all is offered before or after the event.
  •  the topic of the event is processed as a blog post, podcast or video.

 

All details on pricing can be found in the price list.

 

Bookings must be requested at least 3 weeks in advance.

Booking requests are usually answered within 14 days.

Yes, but it has to be taken care of independently. Migros is the main contact for catering requests throughout the campus. When booking the room, please tick the catering option or contact intendanz@unisg.ch with any questions.

Pure aperitifs, seated meals, etc. are not possible at SQUARE.

Please note: For the use of a catering area, a flat fee of 100.- will be charged, which will be invoiced directly by Migros.

 

 

No, because Migros is responsible for the catering SQUARE. If you have any questions about catering, please contact intendanz@unisg.ch.
