Facility Rentals

Rental of the Wisconsin Army National Guard facilities is managed by the Construction and Facilities Management Office (CFMO). This is not a community relations activity of the Public Affairs Office.

The following renter categories only are authorized to make a Facility Rental Request:

  • Federal, state, and local governments when used for a governmental purpose
  • Federally created, established, or operated entities
  • Organizations created for a civic or charitable purpose when use of the armory is for that purpose

The process starts out with the requestor sending the required documents listed below to the Facility Manager at the requested location. The facility Manager will review the request and check on the availability of the space at the armory on the dates and times indicated. The Facility Manager then forwards your request to the CFMO Operations Specialist. The CFMO Operations Specialist will review the request. A Facility Use Agreement is prepared by the Operations Specialist and approved by the CFMO. If a rental fee is applicable, the lessee will receive a Facility Rental Invoice with the Facility Use Agreement.

Requests must be received by the Construction and Facilities Management Office (CFMO) at least 30 days prior to event to allow adequate review and processing time. The 30 days begins when the CFMO has a complete packet of information to be able to prepare the Facility Use Agreement.
