Spring Quarter Hours (Sunday, March 25 - Friday, June 1)

The Adventure Recreation Center will have two maintenance projects that will force the closure of some areas within the building in June. On Tuesday, June 5, courts 2, 3, and 4 will be closed while the volleyball standard sleeves are replaced and reset within the wood floor. The courts will re-open for activity on Wednesday June 6, but they will be unavailable for any volleyball activity until Monday, June 11. On Friday and Saturday, June 8 and 9, both turf fields will be closed as they will undergo annual maintenance to extend their life and improve playability. Both fields should re-open for play late Saturday night or Sunday morning June 10 at the latest. Thank you for your understanding regarding these important projects.
