Over the summer, we began a project to replace our basketball courts. Unfortunately, due to unexpected water damage this project will be extended through the entire fall semester. The rest of our facilities remain open and operational for all other activities and events.
We recognize that this closure has impacts on our community members, and are working on providing alternative recreational options including:
Extended intramural sports programming in available spaces and additional tournaments.
Expanded group recreational offerings such as pop up group fitness classes and aquatic-based programming.
Repurposed spaces within Yates Field House to accommodate pickleball, badminton, half-court basketball, and outdoor basketball. For more information on court availability and locations, please visit our Open Recreation page.
Some noise can be expected as a result of this project. Work hours are 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday. ADA pathways will be maintained during the duration of this project. Updates will be shared with the community throughout this project on the Office of Planning and Facilities Management’s active construction website. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we work to improve our facilities!
