Fields and Grounds

Use of fields by non-College organizations is subject to availability and consent of the Office of the President and the Associate Vice President of Student Affairs. Student use of fields for intramural, recreation and competitive intercollegiate sports takes precedence over use by non-College organizations. Grounds maintenance is based upon student use in conjunction with weather conditions, which may cause periodic and/or prolonged unavailability of campus playing fields. All fees stated are exclusive of security guard at current contracted hourly fee when required, liability insurance, direct cost of extraordinary clean-up, and off-duty Schenectady Police officer if necessary.

  • Track - Rental Fee: $65

Grounds

  • 1-5 acre area - Rental Fee: $65
  • 5-10 acre area - Rental Fee: $150

Parking Lots

Except when reserved parking is requested and approved, use of the parking lot is included at no additional charge when a non-College organization is holding an approved event in one of the campus buildings.

With proper security and safeguards, parking lots may be separately licensed for use by a non-College organization during the periods of recess, holidays or certain weekends. When the parking lots are scheduled for use by a non-College organization, without an associated event, there will be a charge made for use of the parking lot. In situations where the College deems it necessary to have special security guard to safeguard the users of the parking area and to maintain safety and control within the parking area, the direct cost of the security service will be charged to the organization that has contracted for the parking facility, in addition to the rental fee charge. Unless specifically authorized for exclusive use, there will be no exclusion of vehicles with College permit stickers from the licensed parking areas.
