Off-Campus Participation or Use :: Use of University Facilities [UUF]

If you intend for your event to be open to individuals outside of the UW Community [defined as UW faculty, staff and students], University regulations require you to submit a Use of University Facilities [UUF] request and receive UUF approval. The online UUF Request form, UUF instructions and related UUF policies and procedures can be obtained from the Office of the Provost, Special Programs.

Your HUB reservation request will remain tentative until UUF approval is granted by the UUF Committee. UUF approval is obtained from the Office of the Provost, Special Programs.

UUF Approval Process

  1. University Sponsor
    In order for your UUF to be approved, and consequently your HUB reservation to be confirmed, your event requires sponsorship approval from a dean, director or chair of a relevant UW department. Please contact the UW department dean, director or chair prior to initiating your UUF request online because you will need to indicate your University Sponsor and their email address when you submit your UUF request.
  2. Submit an Online UUF Request by You/Your Organization.
    Please make sure to submit your UUF requst by the deadline indicated to you by HUB Event Services for timely confirmation of your reservation. You may submit your request through the online UUF Request Form.

    PLEASE BE SURE TO SELECT "HUB-Husky Union Building (HUB)" OR "HUB Lawn" AS YOUR PROPOSED LOCATION!

  3. Final Approval from the UUF Committee.
    You will be notified of your UUF approval status via email directly from the UUF Committee. Following notification of APPROVED status, HUB Event Services will confirm your reservation and follow up on your event details.

For additional UUF assistance please contact the Office of the Provost, Special Programs.

Major Event Guidelines

In addition to the policies already mentioned, HUB Major Events must follow these additional guidelines:

EVENT PLANNING MEETING: An EPM with your Event Coordinator (specified on your confirmation) is required for any major event in the HUB. The EPM must be held at least four (4) weeks prior to your event to meet University timelines. You may schedule the meeting even earlier to help with your budget and event detail preparation.

RENTAL COSTS: Depending on the size, scope and nature of your event your group may need to be prepared to pay in advance from $500 - $2500 in rental fees. Never assume rental costs; always refer to an official written estimate from our office.

SECURITY COSTS: Most major events require either UW Police, HUB Event Staff or both to provide security at your event. These costs are added to your reservation and will be discussed in your EPM.

TICKET & TICKET CREW COSTS: There are specific city, state, and UW requirements governing ticket sales at events. Don’t print or sell tickets to an event until you have had your EPM. We are NOT able to accommodate ticket sales at the door here at the HUB. Please contact the HUB Ticket Office in advance to arrange for ticket sales on the day of your event: 206-543-2277.

EQUIPMENT & TECHNICAL COSTS: HUB facilities don’t include access to theatrical lighting or large sound systems. Please plan ahead for what types of equipment you’ll need, furnishings that will be necessary, and your electrical requirements. More information on sound and light is available during your EPM.
