University Recreation Facilities
Goolrick Hall is open for recreational use by the University community throughout the year only when classes are in session and is managed by the Athletic Department. The building and the tennis courts at the Battleground Athletic Complex are normally open for recreation during both summer sessions, but hours vary depending on availability of student aides. For information about the Fitness Center, contact Bob Liebau, Associate Director of Campus Recreation at 654-1098 or the Fitness Center at 654-1REC (654-1732).
Campus Recreation is excited about the planned renovation of the Goolrick Recreation Field. The planned renovation will include replacing the existing turf with an in-filled artificial surface, lights, and a storage and restroom facility. Look here for more as the plans start to take shape.
