House Rules

Serving as the home of Ohio State Presidents until 1972, Kuhn Honors & Scholars House (the House) was reopened in 1992 after a year-long renovation. It is a center for Honors and Scholars students, and offers space for both honors and scholars classes and their co-curricular activities.

The administrative offices of the University Honors & Scholars Center are also located in the House. Space in the House is primarily used for honors and scholars-related activities. Below are the rules to be followed when using the House for an event.

  • Individuals or groups who reserve room(s) are responsible for the actions and behaviors of their members/students/peers.
  • Any room(s) used by your group MUST be left as they were found.
  • All furniture must be returned to its original location.
  • Food and/or trash MUST be disposed of outside. A dumpster is located through the side door in the kitchen.
  • The kitchen is available to be reserved. Please note that we cannot supply cookware, utensils, serving platters, coffee, or dishwashing service for your group.
  • The kitchen MUST be cleaned after it has been used, and all catering items taken away at the end of the event. Failure to comply will result in an extra $50 charge that will be applied to your department. A notification will be sent to the event contact person from the Building Coordinator before the charge is applied.
  • Each group is responsible for paying the cost of any cleaning/repair services needed following an event. Due to an increase in requests for events and meetings, we no longer schedule multiple meetings for non-honors & scholars events nor do we allow non-campus groups to reserve the House.
  • Smoking is not permitted in the House. Or surrounding areas.
  • Alcohol is not permitted in the House.
  • We reserve the right to alter room locations, or if necessary, cancel a group's reservation. All reservations are subject to the approval of the Associate Provost or the Office Manager.
  • Cancellation of reservations should be received at least 48 hours before the event is scheduled.
  • All events must be finished and cleaned up by 8 p.m. Monday-Thursday and by 5 p.m. on Fridays.
  • Please be advised that we do not allow the driveway to be reserved.
  • Wedding events are not permitted in the House. If you are interested in reserving Browning Amphitheatre, please contact the University Registrar Scheduling Office.
  • Furniture may NOT be moved out of the House.
  • If your event is catered, please work directly with your caterer, rather than having them contact our Building Coordinator.
Failure to comply with these rules may result in your group being barred from using the House in the future.
