Community Members & Organizations

Thank you for your interest in having the Eau Claire Area School District serve your building use needs.
 
The Eau Claire Area School District buildings and grounds are first and foremost for the education and enrichment of our students. Secondarily, they serve as a valuable community asset for educational, governmental, civic, cultural and recreational activities of the citizens of Eau Claire. The following procedures, instructions and fees are intended to best maintain the facilities for the students and community. The use of all school facilities will be at the discretion of the Eau Claire Area School District and the granting of permission to use school property shall not be construed as an endorsement of any individual or group by the Eau Claire Area School District.

All community, non-school district activity/event requests for building and site use will be handled through the Facility Use Office, located in the ECASD Service Center, at 623 N Hastings Way, Eau Claire (next to U-Haul).

SCHEDULING DATES:
We will not be accepting applications and fees for summer 2020 facilty use until we have more information as to when ECASD schools will again be open. Thank you for your understanding.
 
DETERMINING IF THE SPACE YOU WISH TO USE IS AVAILABLE:
The ECASD Facility Use Calendar shows the activities which have been scheduled at our various buildings/sites. Please check the Facility Use Calendar to determine the availability of the ECASD facility you desire to use before submitting your Application for Facility Use.

When the Facility Use Calendar is first opened it will display all activities scheduled, District-wide, for each date. To check the availability of the facility where you wish to hold your activity, click the drop-down arrow in the "View All LOCATIONS" box and select that building from the menu. Then click the "FILTER" button. The calendar will now display only the events that are scheduled at that particular site. Clicking on an event title will open a small window which will list additional information about the event, such as the start and end times and the specific room/space where it is being held. If you click on the number for a specific date (such as clicking on the 8 for March 8), you will see a list of all the events scheduled that day at that location, including areas of use.

In order to keep our fields in proper condition they need to be fertilized, watered and seeded, so it may be necessary to close them for periods of time. Please do not use any field marked for rest. Any fields or lawns being fertilized will be posted in advance as required by law. Field Maintenance Schedule
