Original Implementation: Summer, 1975
Last Revision: January 30, 2007

The provisions of University Policy B-1, Use of University Facilities , govern the use of all buildings, facilities, equipment and grounds, hereinafter referred to as facilities, under the control of Stephen F. Austin State University. That policy provides that the University may establish additional procedures for the reservation and use of specific facilities; therefore, the following provisions apply to the Norton HPE complex.

The Lucille Norton HPE Complex is intended primarily for the use of SFASU students. The first priority use is for academic instruction, the second priority is for recreational programs, the third for other university sponsored events (varsity athletics, cheerleaders, student organizations, etc…), and fourth for summer camps with a building maintenance fee attached.

University-sponsored groups may apply for use of the complex in accordance with the policy on Use of University Facilities. Application for the use of the HPE Complex between 8am-3pm shall be made to the Chair of the Kinesiology and Health Science Department, and for all other times, to the Director of Campus Recreation.

Outside groups may apply for use of the Complex in accordance with University regulations. Area public schools are usually granted permission to use the tennis courts and, on rare occasion, Shelton Gym, for district and/or regional playoffs. Requests other than these require administrative approval by the respective vice president(s) and/or the President of the University. All outside groups using these facilities require a signed rental contract, proof of insurance with the university listed as an additional insured, and a rental fee.

The following are specific guidelines for the recreational use of the Norton HPE Complex by students, faculty, and staff.

  1. SFA I.D. card required to use facilities and/or check out equipment

  2. No charge for use of the HPE Complex and tennis courts by students, faculty, or staff members There is no access to the complex for student/faculty/staff families.
