Facility Use Agreements

Overview

A facility use agreement (FUA) is a short form license for very limited use of a facility. FUAs do not include programmatic aspects.

FUAs are intended for licensing classroom, studio, theater, and other periodic use space for educational, research, and public service purposes, use is intermittent and the user is not making any improvements to the premises. FUAs should be tailored to fit the unique facts of individual arrangements.

There is sometimes a consideration in dollar amount clearly tied to the appropriate intervals for periodic use, number of rooms or amenities or services required; timing for payment should be specified.

FUAs are typically processed through UC ANR Risk Services. For more information visit the Risk Services Forms and Waivers website or read the FUA guidance pdf in the link below.

Facilities Use Agreement FAQs
A Facilities Use Agreement should be used when UC ANR will be using a building, or room, on non-UC-owned property. In contrast, a Researcher’s Access Agreement should be used when UC ANR needs access only to the land for research purposes.
