UCLA Regulations on Activities, Registered Campus Organizations, and Use of Properties;

UCLA Policy 860, Extracurricular Use of University Facilities.
II. PURPOSE
On occasion, students, faculty members, or administrators desire to erect a Temporary Structure on campus in conjunction with student-related programs or activities, research or instructional programs or other appropriate campus activities. The use of University properties by University units, registered campus organizations, or other groups is governed by the UCLA Regulations on Activities, Registered Campus Organizations, and Use of Properties, and UCLA Policy 860, Extracurricular Use of University Facilities. This procedure expands upon those regulations as they relate to placement of Temporary Structures on the campus.
III. STATEMENT
In order to ensure that the campus will not be adversely impacted, any plan to erect or place a Temporary Structure on campus property shall be reviewed by the UCLA Events Office (EO). The EO is responsible for evaluating the potential impacts of Temporary Structures as described below. For purposes of this procedure, Temporary Structures include, but are not limited to, tents, sculptured objects, or similar assemblages erected on the campus for short periods of time, frequently in connection with a program, event, exhibition, instructional course, or other student initiated activity. Temporary Structures do not include trailers or modular buildings erected for longer periods of time to accommodate programmatic or operating units of campus or for construction project site services.
A. Potential Impacts
Potential impacts to be considered in reviewing the placement of any Temporary Structure on the campus include: disruption of regular campus operations; general safety; pedestrian and vehicular access; traffic and parking; potential damage to the site or a facility; security; effect on the surrounding residential community; and campus aesthetics. All costs associated with the placement of any Temporary Structure, including the costs to mitigate any adverse impacts, such as constructing walls or fences at a site, or for the services of the EO, Facilities Management or Campus Police or other services required for facilitating Temporary Structures, are to be borne by the unit initiating the request.
B. Related Policies
Requests for additional space or facilities, including temporary office structures, should be directed to the appropriate campus department in accordance with UCLA Policy 880 (Assignment and Management of Campus Space) and UCLA Procedure 880.1 (Requests for Additional Space or Modifications to Existing Space). This procedure does not address the use of university facilities in accordance with applicable campus time, place, and manner regulations (see References, I.1, above).
