Facilities Use Scheduling Procedures

• The event scheduler in Facilities Services will process internal and external event requests. University events and those supporting the university mission will receive priority. All requests will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Requests for events beyond the current academic term will not be confirmed until after the 10th day of the term in which the event happens. Contact the event scheduler as early as possible to help ensure a successful event.
• To request space, go to 25Live Pro.
• All academic classes and labs are scheduled by the WSU Tri-Cities Registrar’s Office.
• Non-university events involving personal or commercial gain, are generally prohibited except under limited circumstances and with the permission of the Chancellor or his/her designee
• Spaces requested for weekends and off hours will require special permission from the requestor’s director and the facilities services director. The requestor will also be required to pay for any overtime expenses incurred by the university.
• Groups are asked to comply with classroom etiquette by resetting classrooms back to their standard setup shown on diagrams posted in each room. This does not apply if arrangements have been made with Facilities to complete your event setup.
• Reoccurring space requests may be limited to provide equitable usage for all.
