Full Policy Statement

Policy Statement

Furnishings and equipment in the Centennial Student Union may not be removed from the student union or moved from its original location without advance written permission from University Scheduling and Conference Services.

Furnishings and equipment are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, so advance reservation is encouraged. Late requests will be accommodated only if equipment and personnel are available.

With the exception of CSU 204 during evenings and weekends, RSOs, departments, and outside clients should contact the Building Manager on duty at 507-381-4559 to request and facilitate any furniture rearrangements. All clients are encouraged to clearly communicate their furniture setup needs in advance as part of the event planning process to ensure appropriate support and space readiness. 

Charges will be assessed for unapproved movement, disassembly or damage to Centennial Student Union furnishings and equipment.

Policy Procedure

 A schedule of rates for the rental and movement of furnishings and equipment shall be developed and published prior to July 1 each year. The rate shall reflect cost of labor and wear and tear on furnishings and equipment. University Scheduling and Conference Services will obtain approval from the Centennial Student Union Associate Director of Operations before granting permission for furnishings and equipment to be used outside the building.

Rationale

The Centennial Student Union is funded with Student Fee Funds and earned revenue. For this reason, the Centennial Student Union is responsible for maintaining its own inventory of furnishings and equipment. This policy is designed to ensure furnishings and equipment is well maintained and available for use when needed.
