Rates vary depending on the organization that is hosting an event. Please review the categories below for more information.

Three categories, as defined by State Policy 5:16, are established for rental rates based on event sponsor and event type. No room rental fee is charged to recognized University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire student organizations unless the event is revenue-generating, and there is no charge for most amenities.

A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve the event reservation date, and will be credited on the final invoice. Only one party will be invoiced for facility rental fees.

No charge will be made for student building management or custodial time incurred during standard operating hours. Custodial and student building management labor required outside of established operating hours (including those set for academic break periods) will be charged to the client.

Most special events are scheduled in Davies Center. Events scheduled elsewhere on campus require additional labor, at user cost. Blugold Dining will charge an additional fee; and University Centers Usher Corps personnel must be hired to control any designated alcohol area. A custodian and student building manager must be on duty during the event, and these charges will be billed to the client if the event is scheduled outside standard operating hours.

Events for groups of fewer than 200 people may be scheduled during academic break periods. The client will be charged for custodial staff overtime and student building management labor.
