a. Athletic Facilities
1. Facility Renovation and/or Expansion
The Department of Athletics is committed to providing the finest
facilities for the intercollegiate athletics program. There is an annual
review of facility needs each spring to prepare budget requests for the
next fiscal year (which begins July 1).
Departmental staff is requested to submit requests for expansion or
renovation projects to the Assistant Athletic Director for Facilities.
The Director of Athletics, Deputy Athletic Director, and the Associate
Athletic Director for Business review all requests and prioritize
identified needs.
Criteria used to evaluate these needs may include assessing the impact
that the improvement would have on the University, as well as the
availability of financing or funds. The Director of Athletics decides
which improvement projects are scheduled for expansion or
renovation. Requests for improvement projects that cost up to
$500,000.00 are processed through the University's Facility
Development Department. Any projects in excess of $500,000.00
require capital outlay and must be approved by the State legislature.
Since the Department of Athletics is a self-supporting department,
funding for expansion and renovation projects must be from
Departmental resources or private funds. The Director of Athletics is
ultimately responsible for determining the method of funding for such
projects.
2. Athletic Facilities Rental
The rental or Non-departmental use of athletic facilities is coordinated
by the Assistant Athletic Director for Facilities and subject to the
approval of the Director of Athletics.
In general, the only facilities used by the intramural sports program or
other University groups and organizations are Hanover Hall and the
Natatorium.
When non-University organizations request the use of an athletic
facility, a use fee is charged in addition to any expenses included while
