Black Cultural Center Reservations

The Lyllye Reynolds-Parker Black Cultural Center (BCC) is a hub for academic, social, and cultural engagement for Black students and the entire Black community at the University of Oregon. The leadership of the BCC seeks to build interdisciplinary and cross-campus relationships to support the UO Black community.


This space also provides a venue for functions that educate students and members of the community about Black culture and the nuanced, various lived experiences of Black people as well as provide leadership development through these events and activities.


Due to the importance of the BCC space, we require that all reservations align with our mission. When considering hosting an event in our center, please read all of our policies closely to make sure we're the right space for your event.


We will evaluate reservation requests and respond within one business week. Please put in your request at least two weeks prior to the date you are requesting the space.
