These facilities exist to serve the educational, athletic, and entertainment interests of the students, faculty, and staff of Ohio University. When it does not conflict with university use, and with the permission of Ohio University, the facilities may be used by bona fide groups of the community, region, and state.
Ohio University reserves the right to refuse use of facilities to any group sponsoring a function which does not meet the standards of Ohio University, or which the university determines to be detrimental to the academic, community, or state interests of the university.
Reservation of Facilities
University personnel wishing to reserve space indicated below should contact the Coordinator of Facilities in the Department of Inter- collegiate Athletics. When a date is reserved and confirmed, only a higher priority function can supersede it, and only in the most unusual circumstances.
Non-university persons wishing to reserve space in the Convocation Center should contact the Coordinator of Facilities in the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. After the date is confirmed as available, either the Office of Public Occasions or the Office of Conferences and Workshops must be contacted for approval of the event and the ensuing arrangements.
For all events scheduled in the Convocation Center, the O.U. Physical Plant is notified and coverage must be arranged through them for all events held in the building.
Activity Priorities and Resolution of Conflicts
Every effort will be made to arrange time schedules so that the athletic teams, university-sponsored entertainment, and student organizations can be accommodated. It is the understanding of the university that athletic events and practices have priority in the Convocation Center except for university events such as registration and commencement. It is understood that the Athletic Department will work with the university in arranging for concerts and other such events that are brought to campus. Conflicts will be resolved between the Director of Athletics and the other appropriate persons on campus.
