Extending Building Hours

The procedure to request an extension to the building hours is as follows:

Complete and submit the online form at least 3 weeks prior to your requested date for consideration.

Once the request has been entered, an approval e-mail will be sent to the appropriate department head.  They will have to approve this request for it to be processed by clicking on a link in the e-mail sent to them and hitting the approval option.

PLEASE NOTE: Your request will not be approved until the appropriate department head has approved the request.  We will need a 3 week lead time from when we receive the approval from the department head.

Once approved, your request will be sent to Security to be scheduled.

After your even has taken place, an IDRF form will be e-mailed to the same department head who as approved the request to confirm the price before being sent to Accounting for processing.

The current cost to extend building hours is $83/hour.

Extra Security:
The Extra Security Request Form must be filled out, signed by a department head and turned in to Sarah McGing at least 3 weeks prior to the date requested.

Upon approval, the Dean, Chair, Director or Vice President will receive an IDRF (Inter-Departmental Request Form- billing form) to be signed and returned to the Office of Facilities and Operations. The IDRF will then be sent to the accounting department and the requesting department will be charged for the security and building costs associated with the extension.
