Building Use Policy

Guidelines for using space in the ACTF:

ACCESS TO THE ACTF IS DETERMINED BY THE UW CAMPUS PROTOCOLS. Please see Campus Access on the Main UW Website for instructions.

Presiding Health and Safety regulations must be followed at all times, and you must know and complete the cleaning protocols for the spaces you are using.

CLEAN-IN/CLEAN-OUT PROTOCOLS MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES IN ALL SPACES

Those using Department of Theatre and Film facilities are required to carry their ID Cards and Booking Confirmations with them AT ALL TIMES (hard or electronic copy). You will require your ID card to gain access to the building, and Security Guards may challenge your presence in our rooms at any time so your Booking Confirmation is your authorization to be in the room/building. If you do not have it with you, the Guard may evict you. Also, if you arrive to rehearse and someone else is using the room, your Booking Confirmation will clearly define who is entitled to be there.
Outdoor footwear is NOT PERMITTED in studios 0T09, 0T10, 0T19, 2T05, 2T15. Users are invited to bring indoor shoes or slippers, or wear bare feet or socks. This is to ensure the integrity of our sprung floors and to keep the rooms as clean as possible for subsequent users. We ask that rehearsal rooms be treated in the same manner.
In addition to the cleaning protocols required, rooms are to be restored to a neat and tidy condition after each use. Rooms do not belong to you; others use them as well. As you finish, please make sure you move all furniture to the perimeter of the room and make sure to take all our personal belongings with you when you leave.
Props and costumes left in rehearsal rooms are left at your own risk. We cannot be responsible for them. If they are not removed immediately after your rehearsal, they will be discarded.

Please do not bring in furniture; we do not have room.

We do not provide storage; be prepared to remove any items you bring in following each rehearsal.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE ANY UNIVERSITY PROPS OR FURNISHINGS (including mime boxes and mats) TO BE REMOVED FROM ANY OF THE ROOMS AT ANY TIME!

PLEASE DON'T prop open any outside doors to the ACTF at any time. If members of your group need access after the building is locked they can obtain access cards or you can arrange to meet them at the door to let them in.

PLEASE DON'T let others into the building. Strict security measures must be adhered to for the safety of the people in the building and the maintenance of expensive equipment.

PLEASE DON'T bang on any external doors in an attempt to get someone to let you in.

PLEASE DON'T take food or drink into studios or rehearsal rooms. Exception: water. At this time, we do not have areas available for students to eat; please go to main campus for meals.

The Media Labs (0T12 and 0T14) MUST BE KEPT LOCKED AT ALL TIMES. NEVER leave the room without closing/locking the door behind you, even if you are only leaving for a moment. Only students in film classes requiring use of the room are entitled to access 0T14 and YOU MUST have an access card to complete your film course work.

Building Access after hours is only available through Security, using the camera intercom to the left of the main entrance. You will be required to present your ID card and your confirmation. Once Security has verified your permission to enter the building, they will allow access remotely.

While we do not have rentals in our facility right now, we may have audiences for our own productions. If you encounter guests attending a production in our space, please defer to them and treat them with respect.

Always control noise levels.

Use of departmental space outside of class time is a privilege extended to our students. Abuse and/or disrespect of the rooms may result in denial of this privilege or restricting available space, which disadvantages you and many others.

Our rooms are used extensively for various purposes; please be considerate of other users as well as members of the Department and the campus staff responsible for their upkeep.
