Faculty and staff may visit the Intramural Building between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. to tour the facility and experience all that Campus Recreation has to offer. Visitors are requested to bring a photo ID and check in at the entry desk.

During the open house, Campus Recreation staff will be available to give tours and answer questions. Visitors are encouraged to bring their workout clothes and try out the fitness center, basketball courts, indoor track, racquetball courts, etc. The bouldering wall will be open all day, and the climbing wall will be open between 4 and 7 p.m. Three drop-in group-fitness classes will be offered between 12:10 and 12:50 p.m. These classes include cycling in room 9, a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) class in room 124, and yoga in room 16.
