Reservations

Thank you for your interest in reserve indoor/outdoor recreational space with us at Campus Recreation.

Recognized internal groups may reserve facility spaces, for sport and wellness-related bookings, in the Mackal/Tootell Complex and outside recreational spaces. Keaney Gymnasium and space in the Anna Fascitelli Fitness and Wellness Center are not available.  Campus Recreation is responsible for scheduling all groups with priority usage of facility spaces: NCAA Division I team practices and home contests, academic classes, club sports, intramural sports, departmental programs, and open/drop-in recreation. All facilities are typically occupied during the week however, groups may request events/activities during select evenings, Saturdays and Sundays.
