Additional time should be able to be configured as a required field for users completing the event form.

For us - building in pre-determined pre/post, setup/takedown times per location would be helpful. Our current process is to manually add these times to all requests that come in, which frequently results in conflicts with other events. If these times were required and pre-populated on individual locations, requestors would be able to find open time slots with this criteria already included

Totally agree! Ideally the ability to specify length based on the location. Essentially allowing a default length of time for pre/post/setup/takedown. As an example we are now considering a requiring 1 hr buffer for cleaning as part of the post event. It would be nice to automatically have that time blocked when creating events so we could see when a location could overlap.

Kevin and Joe, there's a specific item for the behavior you're describing - https://25live.featureupvote.com/suggestions/70621/setup-time-based-on-location-and-layout

This feature is about granting the ability for admins to "force" users to fill in the values for these times in the event form.

I would prefer to be able to do a warning message based on a rule of if it had any of these things but no additional time was provided then remind them. We have events that should never need additional time. A good example is are Important Dates and Deadlines that are for adding dates to we b calendars.
