The Denton A. Cooley, MD and Ralph C. Cooley, DDS University Life Center is available for use upon advance reservation and subject to availability as confirmed by Auxiliary Enterprises.
Discounted UTHealth Rates apply for any UTHealth faculty member, employee, student, university-registered or university-recognized organization. Guest Rates apply to events which are organized by or involve a non-UTHealth entity.
With your event details, Auxiliary Enterprises will calculate fees for your particular event. Please note that all reservations for space, equipment, supplies and services are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Since multiple events may take place at the Cooley Center simultaneously, no item or service can be guaranteed without advance reservation.
Room Fees cover the set up of the room according to the organizer’s specifications, as well as the use of the room and its furnishings. Please note, a two-hour minimum is required for all reservations. Regular Rates apply for events held between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
