Renter Responsibilities

Liability insurance is required for all rentals and a copy must be provided prior to the meeting or event. For some events police officers or WSU staff may be required to be in attendance, at the expense of the renter.

Cleaning is the responsibility of the renter. The building will be inspected for cleanliness following each event and the deposit will only be returned to the renter if the facility is left in the same condition as prior to your event.

Our business hours are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, and closed on weekends and WSU holidays. If access to the building is desired outside of business hours charges for security will apply and will depend on staff availability.
