1. GLADISH COMMUNITY CENTER
WSU departments have been renting space at the Gladish Community Center more frequently since the CUB closure. To streamline the process, the Contracts Offiice has negotiated a Master Agreement with Gladish containing terms and conditions governing WSU's use of this facility. The Master Agreement appplies to University functions only. RSO's and other student groups are not covered under this agreement.
- To Make a reservation with Gladish Community Center, contact them at (509) 332-8081 for rental rates, dates, times, and space available. Note that an order is required to complete your reservation.
- A Departmental Order will be accepted for rentals up to $3,000. Fax your Departmental Order directly to Gladish Community Center at (509) 332-6278.
- Rentals over $3,000 need to be directed to Purchasing Services with a Departmental Requisition for issurance of a Purchase Order. Note that this process for Gladish is a temporary change from the standard procedures for renting facilities, which are usually processed through the Office of Business Affairs per BPPM 10.11.
- All orders must refer to the "Gladish Master Agreement - C15074".
- All orders must specify the dates and times of use and fee charged.

3. RENTING NON-STATE FACILITIES
Are you looking to contract with outside (non-state) facilities for your meetings or conferences? SAAM 10.10.55 requires that state agencies must give preference to locations at state or other public facilities (such as local government) when meetings or conferences are necessary. If a non-state facility is used, the department must submit, in writing, a justification as to why a non-state facility has been chosen. See http://www.ofm.wa.gov/policy/10.10.htm#10.10.55
The justification should include the following:
Purpose/objective of meeting
Name of organizations or persons expected to attend
Estimated cost to University including travel
Why state-owned institution cannot be used
