Let \(G\) be a group and \(\mathcal{VC}\), \(\mathcal{FBC}\) be the families of virtually cyclic and of finite-by-cyclic subgroups of \(G\), respectively. The author constructs universal spaces \(E_{\mathcal{VC}}G\) and \(E_{\mathcal{FBC}}G\) for these families in the case \(G\) acts on a CAT(0) space and other special properties which we explain. Let \(X\) be a CAT(0) proper space, an isometry of \(X\) is `semisimple' if it fixes a point or it acts on a line, this line is called an `axis'. Let \(\mathcal A(X;G)\) be the space of axes of \(X\) and \(\mathcal L(X)\) denote the space of lines of \(X\). A subset \(A\subset\mathcal A(X;G)\) is called `\(G\)-well behaved space of axes' if (1) \(\mathcal A\) is closed and component-wise convex as a subset of \(\mathcal L(X)\); (2) \(G\mathcal A=\mathcal A\); and (3) for any \(\ell\in\mathcal A(X;G)\), \(\mathcal A\) contains at least one axis parallel to \(\ell\). The main theorem is the following: Theorem. Let \(G\) be a group acting by semisimple isometries on a proper CAT(0) space \(X\), assume that there is a \(G\)-well behaved space of axes \(\mathcal A\). Then, there are Connolly-Fehrman-Hartglass type constructions of \(E_{\mathcal{VC}}G\) and \(E_{\mathcal{FBC}}G\) based on the action of \(G\) on \(X\).
