Activities at the MU Rec Center

We strongly encourage you to take advantage of our Rec Center. A wide variety of excellent facilities are available within the MU Recreation and Fitness Center including basketball courts, aquatic center, exercise rooms, and more. Those staying in the Residence Hall will receive day passes to the Rec Center. Those staying elsewhere can purchase a day pass at the Rec Center for $10/day. To use the facility (other than as part of a tour), you must bring a photo I.D. and tell the staff on duty that you are with the Consortium.

The new MU Rec Center is arguably one of the best such facilities in the U.S. To familiarize you with the many potential uses of the facility, we will offer several guided tours. Please note that the first such tour is offered prior to the Welcome Reception on June 4. The tour will leave Discovery Hall at 5:10 p.m. and will leave the Rec Center Main Entrance on Hitt Street at 5:15 p.m. Tours will also be offered shortly after Consortium sessions end on Thursday and Friday.

• Wed., June 4 at 5:10 p.m. Leaves residence hall lobby & proceeds to Rec Center Main Entrance on Hitt Street. (Additional tours may be offered earlier in the afternoon from the residence hall if there is sufficient interest.)
• Thurs., June 5 at 5:10 p.m. (shortly after sessions end). Leaves Cornell Hall 1st floor atrium lounge & proceeds to Rec Center.
• Fri., June 6 at 5:00 p.m. (shortly after sessions end). Leaves Cornell Hall 1st floor atrium lounge & proceeds to Rec Center.

Also, basketball courts have been reserved for your use in the Rec Center. Finally, even if you don’t plan to swim, you may want to join us at the Tiger Grotto on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. Beach-style rocking chairs in an overlooking balcony let you take in the atmosphere even if you choose not to get wet!

We also have reserved the following facilities for your use, but you must bring a photo I.D. and have a day pass:

• Thursday, June 5, 7:00-8:00 a.m. Basketball Court #4
