Use of Facilities
The Facilities Planning department is responsible
for processing Use of
Facilities (UOF) requests. The requesting group or agency is
responsible to ensure that the UOF request is received by the
Facilities Planning department at least four weeks in advance of the desired
date of use. The school
site must approve the UOF form first; it is then submitted to Facilities
Planning for final approval and distribution to appropriate departments.
Outside Organizations
- All outside organizations must submit a UOF
for any event.
- All outside organizations are required to
provide a copy of their Certificate of Liability insurance for not less than
$1,000,000.
- Facilities Planning must have proof of
required insurance before the organization may use the site.
School Site Functions
- Schools must submit a UOF request for a
school event if the event takes place after school hours, in the evening, or
on weekends.
- When a school site submits a UOF request
for a school event after school hours, lighting, heating, and air
conditioning needs must be taken into consideration and an
HVAC
request should be submitted when necessary.
- If an event requires the services of
Maintenance and Operations (i.e., additional chairs, tables, etc.), an M & O
Request must be completed and forwarded to Maintenance and Operations for
their approval.
