Would you like to have your event at the subject association lounge?

1. Make a reservation in the booking calendar of the association lounge and studio premises (ask availability: paasihteeri(at)lyy.fi ) Also, check that there are no other reservations for that time.
2. Name the person in charge of the event who has been granted a right of passage to the association lounge.
3. Notify the service advisors of your event by email to kampuspalvelut@ulapland.fi about a week before the event begins. In your message, also indicate the person in charge of the event. Service advisors will inform on-duty security guards of your event.
4. If the event lasts until late in the evening, the person with the right of passage must check in after 8 p.m., but no later than 10 p.m. This is done by showing a badge to either a reader outside the front door, or to a white door in the hallway. Please note that this must also be done when the space has been entered with a badge before 8 p.m. The front door should not be opened from the inside with the badge of the person in charge during the event, as this activates the alarms. After 8 p.m., when the participants leave/come to the AJ facilities, the front door must always be opened from the torque knob or by showing the access badge to the front door’s external reader.
5. The person in charge with the right of passage always leaves the space last, and shows his badge to the inner reader of the front door after the others are already out. This allows association lounge mode alarms to turn on for the night.
6. On Sundays, alarms are on all day and go off when logging into the space at the front door. The use of the badge must be very precise on Sundays, and the person in charge should not open the front door from the inside with a badge until the premises have been emptied.
7. Participants in the events must be informed that taking a shortcut to the association lounde from inside the university is prohibited outside the university’s opening hours (i.e. after 8 p.m. on weekdays, after 4 p.m. on Saturdays, on Sundays throughout the day. Exceptional opening hours must be taken into account).
8. Service advisors are to be notified of any broken property belonging to the university.
