Facility Requests
Who is eligible?
We view our buildings as a blessing and willingly open our doors to others. Our buildings are open for celebrations such as weddings, birthday parties, etc. Also, our buildings are open for non-profit use (hosting group cannot make a profit from the meeting). We also open our buildings for UA campus organizations to hold meetings. We also reserve the right to deny groups who do not align with our values.
What is the booking & payment process?
We do not charge a rental fee for our facilities. However, we do charge a Clean-up Fee for certain after-hours events (parties, etc.) so we can pay our maintenance and janitorial staff. We will let you know if a Clean-up Fee applies and when it is due. In addition, there is a $50 per hour Sound Fee for any event that requires microphones or playing music, video or other multi-media. If you are in need of sound for your event, you must indicate that at the time of making your request.
