KBK Tenant Application

Student Organization Office and Locker Tenant Application

The Ohio Union and Student Activities Office strives to provide resources and space for student organizations to be successful. The Ohio Union offers dedicated office space and storage lockers in the Keith B. Key Center for Student Leadership and Service (KBK) for student organizations to conduct activities and store essential equipment. Organizations (including new ones) must complete registration by April 16, 2026 to be considered for a locker or office space. Organizations that registered in the fall semester and are already active must maintain their active status. 

The 2026 – 2027 KBK Tenant Applications will open February 17, 2026, and close March 17, 2026 at 11:59 pm.  

If you are interested in learning more about what is means to be a KBK Tenant, and how to apply for an office or locker in this space, consider attending an Application Information Session:

Things to Know:

  • All student organizations (regardless of active/inactive/pending status) are eligible to apply for an office or locker. 
  • Only student organizations who achieve Active status by April 16, 2026 are eligible to receive an office or locker. This includes new organizations who want to be eligible for space. Selected organizations that are not active by this date will forfeit their space. 
  • All current office/ locker tenants must re-apply annually to maintain their current space, or request to switch to a different space (e.g. from locker to office). 
  • An automatic confirmation email will be sent once your application is submitted. If you do not receive a confirmation email, we did not receive your application. 
  • Late applications will not be accepted. 
  • All applicants will be notified of their tenant status at the beginning of the following Summer Semester.
