USE OF FACILITIES
681—13.10(262) General priority for facilities and grounds use. University facilities and grounds are primarily dedicated to the university’s missions of teaching, research and service. While facilities and grounds are generally open to noncommercial use by the public, students, student organizations and staff, use for other than university-related purposes must not substantially interfere with university activities and must be in conformity with the requirements of this chapter. University-related activities, including the activities of recognized campus and student organizations, will be given priority. (The ISU facilities and grounds use activities policy may be found in the policy library.)
	13.10(1) Except as specifically indicated, the policies stipulated in rules 681—13.11(262) to 681—13.19(262) are applicable to noncommercial uses.
	13.10(2) Commercial uses, including solicitation, advertising and sales, are subject to the university’s rule on commercial and charitable uses in rule 681—13.15(262).
[ARC 8070B, IAB 8/26/09, effective 9/30/09; ARC 1078C, IAB 10/2/13, effective 11/6/13]
681—13.11(262) Access to facilities and grounds. University facilities and grounds are generally open to public access except as provided below:
	13.11(1) Persons may not enter facilities or grounds without authorization when the facilities or grounds are locked, when signs indicate they are closed to the public or when they are closed to the public for specific events.
	13.11(2) The following facilities and grounds are restricted areas. Access requires express permission of the relevant building supervisor, superintendent or other person in charge of the facility: individual residences or dwellings; research laboratories or facilities; farms and associated buildings; animal storage and confinement facilities; utility and maintenance closets; mechanical rooms; utility facilities; utility tunnels; storage areas; hazardous materials waste storage and handling areas; marked or fenced construction areas; institutional food preparation areas; private offices; workrooms; shops; areas where medical, psychological or other consultation takes place; radio and television studios; intercollegiate athletics competition facilities; or areas which bear signs indicating that access is restricted. The university has leased some of its facilities and grounds to other parties for use related to university purposes (for example, the Ames Laboratory and the National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment). Such areas are not open to public use except as provided by the lessee of the property or facility. The buildings at the Iowa State Center (Scheman Continuing Education Building, Stephens Auditorium and Fisher Theater) and the Iowa State University Research Park are managed by separate organizations that regulate the use of these facilities and grounds.
	13.11(3) Access to facilities and grounds may be denied when they are closed to the public for special university events or when access would conflict with an approved use of the facilities or grounds. The university may limit or control access to areas of the campus for ceremonial events and celebrations such as graduation and VEISHEA.
	13.11(4) Unapproved uses of university facilities and grounds by the general public are subject to preemption for university activities, for use by recognized student and campus organizations and for use by students, faculty and staff for purposes related to the university’s mission.
	13.11(5) Access to performances, art exhibits, museums and other exhibitions may be regulated by requirement of payment of a fee for entry. Visitors are required to abide by policies established for the various facilities and grounds.

681—13.12(262) When authorization is required for use of facilities and grounds open for general use. To prevent conflicts in the use of facilities and grounds, groups or persons wishing to use facilities and grounds, whether indoors or outdoors, should schedule use of university facilities and grounds as provided in this rule. ISU has designated public forum areas with few restrictions. Public events require filing of a notice, or approval depending on the event. “Public events” are defined as outdoor events in which more than 50 persons are participating or at which the sponsor reasonably expects more than 50 persons to be involved, or indoor events in which more than 15 persons are participating or at which the sponsor reasonably expects more than 15 persons to be involved. Organizations and groups desiring to use university facilities and grounds should contact the offices listed in subrule 13.12(3) to determine availability and fees for use.
	13.12(1) Outdoor areas.
	a. 	Designated public forums. The Edward S. Allen Area of Free Debate, located west and south of the Hub, and the area south of the Campanile have been designated as public forums for noncommercial expression. If these areas have not been reserved for use for university purposes or by student, faculty or staff organizations, any member of the public or of the university community may use these areas for expressive activities on a first-come, first-served basis. Signs or placards, each of which is carried by one or two persons, are permitted. Freestanding displays are permitted as long as the display occupies a space of less than 200 cubic feet and has a footprint of not more than 100 square feet, weighs less than 300 pounds and is accompanied at all times by an individual responsible for the display. Leafleting may be conducted if done in a way that avoids substantial littering of the campus.
	b. 	Uses that require only notice. Student organizations, university departments, and others wishing to use outdoor areas other than a designated public forum for a public event must notify the Memorial Union Event Management office. If possible, such notice should be submitted at least 24 hours in advance of the event but, in any case, must be submitted at least 3 hours prior to the event. No approval is necessary if the event meets the following criteria:
	(1)	On weekdays between the hours of 8 a.m.	and 4 p.m., the event will be held at least 100 feet away from buildings that normally hold classes;
	(2)	No other person or group has been authorized to use the area or has filed a notice of intent to use that area or an adjacent area;
	(3)	The organizers do not intend to use amplification equipment or equipment requiring use of electrical power connections. Hand-held megaphones are permitted if used so as to direct the sound away from nearby buildings that normally hold classes;
	(4)	Participants will not use displays other than signs or banners carried at all times by one or two participants (unattended displays may not be used without permission);
	(5)	If the event is not held at one of the two public forum areas, the event will occur only between the hours of 8 a.m.	and 10 p.m.; and
	(6)	The sponsor of the event indicates that the event will comply with the general restrictions indicated above.
	c. 	Uses that require approval. A public event not at a designated public forum, and which does not meet the above criteria, requires prior approval by the filing of an Online Event Authorization Request Form with the Student Activities Center when recognized student organizations make the request and with Facilities Planning and Management when university departments and nonuniversity entities make the request. It is preferred that the online request be made at least ten business days and not less than four business days in advance of the proposed event. The Student Activities Center or Facilities Planning and Management will make every effort to provide approval or nonapproval, with a statement of the reasons for nonapproval, in a timely manner. The sponsors of the event may request a waiver of the four-day requirement. A waiver may be granted if the Student Activities Center or Facilities Planning and Management determines that there are good reasons for an exception.
	(1)	Approval of events will be based upon whether the event meets the general rules indicated in rule 681—13.14(262) and whether the event is appropriate for the location. Approval may be conditioned upon sponsors making reasonable assurances that the event will comply with the general rules. In addition, reasonable time, place and manner restrictions may be required. Unless the event will violate the law, events will not be disapproved based upon the content of proposed speaking or expressive activity. Persons denied authorization may appeal to the senior vice president for business and finance.
	(2)	Following approval of the event, the organization shall make particular arrangements regarding location, electrical power needs, custodial services, and provision for liability insurance as directed by the Student Activities Center or Facilities Planning and Management. If parking lots will be involved, the organization must receive clearance from the Parking Division, (515)294-3388. If streets will be involved, the organization must receive clearance from the office of the senior vice president for business and finance, (515)294-6162. Preferred locations for outdoor events covered under this subrule are the areas south or north of the Campanile, west of Curtiss Hall, south of MacKay Hall, south of the Hub, south of the Parks Library, and west of Marston Hall provided the events do not conflict with university classes or scheduled activities and provided the events conform to appropriate uses for the area.
	13.12(2) Indoor areas.
	a. 	General policy regarding use. Any use of indoor areas must not conflict with university programs and events and must be compatible with the purpose of the facility or the particular area to be used.
	(1)	Members of the general public and campus community are free to enter university facilities, other than restricted areas, during business hours as necessary to transact business, seek information about the university or deliver petitions or correspondence.
	(2)	Organizations and groups desiring to use university buildings and facilities for meetings, events, and conferences should contact the offices listed in 13.12(3) to determine availability and fees for use.
	(3)	Organizations (other than recognized campus and student organizations) using classrooms, auditoriums, and meeting rooms will be charged the customary rental of those facilities. All users will be responsible for costs incurred for setup, equipment use, cleanup and use of services and materials of the university.
	(4)	To avoid disruption, the following kinds of indoor areas are not available for non-university-related assembly or solicitation: hallways, stairways, waiting rooms, residence halls and apartments, dining facilities, workrooms, common areas provided around service windows, the Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center and the Thielen Student Health Center. Atria and open areas in buildings are generally available for use except when they are used as waiting areas or common areas around service windows.
	b. 	Uses that require scheduling. To avoid conflicts with university activities and permitted use by others, organized use of indoor areas by groups of 15 or fewer persons that will substantially exclude others from using the same or adjacent areas, other than transitory passage through public areas and hallways, requires scheduling through the Memorial Union Event Management Office when recognized student organizations make the request and with Facilities Planning and Management or Conference Planning and Management when university departments or nonuniversity entities make the request.
	c. 	Uses that require approval. Organized or concerted assembly in or solicitation at indoor areas by groups involving more than 15 persons for non-university-related purposes must be approved by the filing of an Online Event Authorization Request Form with the Student Activities Center when recognized student organizations make the request and with Facilities Planning and Management or Conference Planning and Management when university departments or nonuniversity entities make the request. It is preferred that the online request be made at least ten business days and not less than four business days in advance of the activity. The Student Activities Center and Facilities Planning and Management or Conference Planning and Management will make every effort to provide approval or nonapproval, with a statement of the reasons for nonapproval, in a timely manner. The sponsors of the event may request waiver of the four-day requirement. A waiver may be granted if the Student Activities Center or Facilities Planning and Management or Conference Planning and Management determines that there are good reasons for an exception.
	(1)	Approval of events will be based upon whether the event meets the general rules indicated in rule 681—13.14(262) and whether the event is appropriate for the facility.
	(2)	Approval may be conditioned upon sponsors making reasonable assurances that the event will comply with the general rules. In addition, reasonable time, place and manner restrictions may be required. Unless the event will violate the law, events will not be disapproved based upon the content of proposed speaking or expressive activity.

	13.17(2) Unless specifically authorized, the consumption of alcoholic beverages is not permitted on the campus, within university buildings, within university vehicles, or on other university property. Alcohol may be consumed in residences or privately leased units on the campus as allowed by law and the rules or lease agreement applicable to the unit. Otherwise, the university will determine the time, place, and conditions under which alcoholic beverages are consumed on university property. Events at which alcoholic beverages are served require evidence of a properly issued state alcohol permit. Persons violating state law with respect to possession and consumption of alcohol are subject to citation, arrest or exclusion from the campus. The ISU policy on alcohol, drugs, and other intoxicants may be found in the policy library.
	13.17(3) Food and beverages shall be consumed in academic buildings only in areas designated by the responsible departmental supervisor.
