FACILITY USAGE GUIDELINES FOR NON-ACADEMIC SPACES

PURPOSE:

To provide uniform guidelines for the usage of various non-academic university facilities for meetings, presentations, receptions and meals during the academic year. The non-academic spaces enumerated below should not be scheduled for regular classes, with the exception of Noble Center; occasional use for a class is acceptable but not regular use. Regular use by a particular group for meetings will be discouraged as well. The intention is to allow these spaces to be flexible and available for a wide variety of constituencies. Because the furnishings of these spaces are meant to provide a comfortable atmosphere, the appropriate usage will be determined by those who schedule the spaces.

Space will be reserved as long as it does not interrupt the academic and educational mission of the University. Outside conference groups must be sponsored by a member of the SLU community who is intimately involved in the conception of and participates in the execution of the program, and approval must be obtained from the sponsor’s vice-presidential level division head. The program must also fit the educational mission of the University—either for academic or community relations purposes.

All rooms, unless otherwise noted, should be reserved through Conference Services - Room Reservations at 229-5996 or roomres@stlawu.edu.

Off-Site Facilities

Catamount

When St. Lawrence University sold the Catamount property, our agreement with the new owners provides that they will give us, free of charge, 20 days use of the building for educational programming.

To qualify for the free use, the proposal should be for a program that relates to St. Lawrence’s official functions – academic, student life, administrative. Since St. Lawrence no longer owns the facility, we do not provide on-site catering, but would be able to prepare snacks or meals that groups could pick up on campus and transport to Catamount (normal catering charges would apply for such requests.)

Note also that Catamount is available for rent for personal use. The new owners have created a Web site with details of their services: www.catamountlodge.com (This site is linked from the Accommodations section of the
St. Lawrence Website.

Waddington Boathouse

This space is reserved through Room Reservations (x-5996) for the months of April through October. The facility is closed from November through March.

Priority for this space is given to the athletic crew team, other athletic teams and athletic department functions. The space can accommodate up to 25 people. It is to be reserved for university internal groups only, such as department retreats, when the space is available.

Due to the distance from campus, it is to be used on a “Carry In, Carry Out” basis, and should be left at a minimum as clean as it was found. In general, St. Lawrence University Dining Services and Facilities Operations will not assist in events held at the facility unless special permission is received from the President’s Office. The University’s alcohol policy applies to this facility.
