Facility Guidelines

Fire Safety

All events must adhere to the University’s Fire Safety Policy. An event can be interrupted or possibly canceled should fire safety violations exist. Event venues must have clearly identified fire exits and occupancy limits must be enforced. Should a fire alarm sound, house lights will be turned up, if necessary, and all participants will be instructed to leave the area or to respond as directed by fire safety or fire department personnel.

Smoking

ASU is a tobacco-free campus. Smoking, e-cigarettes, vape pens, and illegal drugs of any kind are prohibited in all campus facilities.

Decorations

The BCLS recognizes the need for organizations and individuals to decorate campus facilities for events and activities. Please submit all decorating plans to your event coordinator at least 14 days prior to the event for approval. When developing plans for decoration, the following must be adhered to in all campus facilities:

  1. No painting or spray-painting in the facility or on campus grounds at any time.
  2. Duct tape, thumbtacks, or any other strong adhesive is not allowed on any surface in the facilities. You may see a couple of signs around the facility regarding safety or trash put up by ASU, the Fire Safety Marshall and/or Police Department. These are the only exceptions. Do not nail or pin anything into walls, floors or ceilings. If you need to tape anything to the walls, please make sure that it is painter’s tape.
  3. All materials must be cleaned up and removed completely upon event conclusion. Any damage to the space caused by the client will be billed directly to their organization.
  4. No glitter or confetti is allowed in any event space. The use of glitter will result in an automatic cleaning fee.
  5. Client is not permitted to alter the space in any way – i.e. removing or relocating plants, art, or installations that are fixtures in the space.
  6. Client should not stand on furniture, including chairs and/or tables.
  7. Groups should not drag furniture across the floor. Either lift or ask for assistance from event staff.
  8. Fire Exit Signs cannot be covered under any circumstances.
  9. Exit and Entrance doors as well as hallways and walkways cannot be blocked under any circumstances.
  10. All cords and cables must be taped down.
