REMINDER: Weekend Use of the Building

The weekend hours of the building are:

Friday: 8:30 - 5
Saturday: CLOSED
Sunday: 8-6

Please note: Student Programs may generally only reserve space in the building if the building is open and/or a staff person is present.

This is not designed to limit student access to the building but rather to control YMCA expenses. (The Y has to find and pay someone to sit at the front desk on weekends.) If you would like to meet in the building outside of normal hours you must do the following:

(1) Check with Carol (337-1500) to see if the room you wish to use is available. If there is another [paid] event in the building at that time and your event does not interfere with the renter's event, Carol will book the room for you. PLEASE NOTE: If a rental is cancelled, Carol may notify you to say the space you have requested is no longer available. At this point, you may contact Kasey as described below to explore other options.

(2) If the building is not already open for another event, and you would like to meet at the Y, you must contact Kasey and make a special request for space. If approved, Kasey will either attend the event and open the building for you OR give you a key to use to get into the Y. IF YOU RECIEVE A KEY TO THE Y, YOU MUST RETURN THE KEY TO KASEY NO LATER THAN THE FOLLOWING MONDAY! Following the burglary this summer, we must hold you even more accountable for building keys.

As always, any time you use a room in the Y, you are responsible for returning the room to the state in which you found it.

At any time the Y can decide not to let a student program use building space after hours for (1) failure to return building keys within the specified time frame, (2) failure to return the room to its original condition, (3) because the requested student meeting in some way conflicts with the renter's event (such as noise,etc.)

The old policy for student programs is that you may only use the building once per semester outside of regular hours. We are trying to be more accomodating but can only do so with your continued cooperation.

** VIS-A-VIS and ASB as paid tenants have additional access to the building after hours as outlined in your lease agreements. If you have questions re: how this affects you, feel free to ask Kasey.
