UW-La Crosse facilities (including buildings, adjacent grounds, and parking lots) are considered a resource of the University. 

Academic facilities are primarily intended to support continuing programs of instruction, research and diversified service to enrolled students.  They are not owned by individual departments or campus units but by the state of Wisconsin and are operated and maintained by the University’s Office of Facility Planning & Management, under the direction of the Vice Chancellor for Administration & Finance.

UW-La Crosse facilities shall be scheduled and managed in such a way as to maximize utilization for both instructional programs and other University mission-related events.

The priorities for use of UW-La Crosse facilities vary according to the type of facility, and the University has established the following hierarchy of priorities.  The listing under each facility indicates the priority given to the activity or user group where possible.  However, annual and long term commitments, by their nature, may preempt the strict priorities.  Requests for an exemption from these established priorities need to be directed to the University Reservations Office who will consult with the Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance.
