Facility Use Rentals

Welcome facility renters!

We are excited to welcome our community to utilize the WSSB campus for rentals.  We require an online form to request use of our facilities, a Certificate of Liability Insurance (for all rentals), a statement of compliance for SB 5083 (for all youth events), and all rentals must be prepaid.

We offer facility rentals in our Stenehjem Fitness Center from Friday’s at 4pm through Sunday’s at 8pm and locations in our Old Main building by request during the week and weekends.

If interested, please use this link to fill out the initial portion of the rental process:  https://tinyurl.com/WSSBFacilityRental

General Information

Parking: There are approximately 45 parking spaces in front of the Stenehjem/Irwin buildings. There are generally several other facility user groups using our facility so parking may be impacted. For rentals in Old Main (Fries Auditorium, Dining Room, Board Room), there is ample parking on the south side of campus. All entrances are ADA accessible.

Custodians: WSSB may require user groups to have a custodian on duty, depending on the type of event and number of people attending the function.

Keys/Keycards: If the rental is outside of the regular school day, the facility user group may be issued a key and keycard for the duration of their rental. Keys and Keycards must be returned within one week of the rental end date.

PLEASE NOTE

If your group has a facility rented and must cancel the reservation, please contact WSSB as soon as possible so door, gate and custodial scheduling can be revised.  Failure to notify WSSB may result in denial of future rentals.
