Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can non-University groups lease space on campus?
海角社区licenses space in certain facilities on campus to non-University users for various activities, which include social events, commercial events, meetings, seminars, ceremonies, and the like.
-
What spaces are available to outside groups to rent?
海角社区will enter into contracts allowing outside groups to use portions of the University Center, and Performing Arts Center, the Stadium, Arena, Student Union/Coxwell Amphitheater, parking lots, and tennis courts/recreational facilities, as well as the Robinson Theater and 海角社区Field House. Other 海角社区space, such as classrooms, dining halls, library, residence halls during their occupancy by students, and the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation are not available for outside groups to use.
The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in downtown Jacksonville (which is a cultural institute of UNF) also makes portions of its facility available for use by 海角社区and non-海角社区groups based on its own fixed schedule of rates.
-
Does 海角社区charge non-University groups for use of space?
Yes. Space is licensed to users based on a fixed schedule of rates that applies to every non-海角社区user on an equal basis based on the size, location, and services to be provided. Space is made available on a first-come, first served basis.
-
Can University groups rent space?
Yes. Officially recognized university groups can use space based on a separate discounted schedule of rates that applies to every group that is part of the 海角社区community. Space is made available on a first-come first served basis.
-
For what purposes can groups rent space on campus?
UNF's contract with the user for use of the particular facility specifies the exact use of the space that is permitted by the user. Facilities have specific policies that prohibit certain uses based on particular risks to health and safety, un-insurability, illegality, inability to pay, discrimination prohibited by law or 海角社区regulation, merchandise sales, and size of event, and that limit certain high-risk behaviors as permitted by law.
-
Can 海角社区discriminate against users based on their particular identity or viewpoint?
No. Each of the facilities available operates as University auxiliary and is located on State-owned land, so 海角社区does not prohibit the use of the facility or discriminate based upon the user’s identity or its political, social, or religious viewpoint. Additionally, 海角社区does not discriminate in licensing space to a user on the basis of the user’s race, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or marriage or veteran’s status.
Similarly, 海角社区will not endorse a user’s particular political, social, or religious viewpoint and prohibits in its contract the use of UNF’s name or registered trademarks in a way that suggests UNF’s endorsement in user’s advertising or other materials.
-
Does 海角社区require users to employ security personnel when they are using a facility?
In some cases. 海角社区must approve every user’s security plan. The particular facility determines if, when, and what level of security should be required. The facilities coordinate with the University Police Department in cases in which an enhanced risk to campus safety or good order is anticipated.
