Any group wishing to rent the ARCC must submit a proposal to the ARCC Coordinator. Once the proposal has been reviewed and approved, a contract is established to determine rental fees. Both profit and non-profit groups are welcome to rent the ARCC for a variety of events including sporting events, commencement ceremonies, job fairs, and craft fairs, among other activities.
