Building Use Policy
 Evelyn Chapel: The Religious Life Center

General Policy 

  • Any use of space in the Chapel must be requested on a space request form, and approved in writing by the University Chaplain and the Registrar’s Office.

  • No approval is final until written confirmation is received from the Registrar’s Office.  Space requests require approximately two weeks for processing.

  • The Chapel will not be held responsible for any publicity or other arrangements made by a group before final approval of a space request is granted.

  • All approvals are subject to change or cancellation by the Chapel in case of urgent need.

  • Any group that does not meet on an approved date is expected to call in advance to cancel. 

  • Any weekly group that does not show up without notice, or cancels for three consecutive weeks may lose its approved status, and will need to re-apply for the space.

  • Each group is limited to no more than one weekly meeting.  Requests for additional space are subject to availability and special approval.

  • All rooms will be returned to the condition in which they were found.  Liability for any damage of property is the responsibility of the group or individual who booked the space at the time when the damage occurred.

  • The use of any room in the Chapel for personal income or profit is prohibited.

Use of the Instruments

  • Usage of the Chapel’s Cassavant Organ is only by prior arrangement with the University Chaplain and the Evelyn Chapel Organist. 

  • After use, the organ must be returned to the condition in which it was found (blower off, pistons unchanged, and the organ bench returned to position).  Please report any problems or difficulties to the University Chaplain.

  • The piano in the sanctuary must be covered after use.  Those wishing to book use of the piano must indicate this on the space request form. 

  • Failure to treat any instrument properly will result in denial of future requests to use the instruments and/or the space.
