Multipurpose Room Policies

University of Illinois Campus Recreation is one of the only campus facilities that offers space to individuals and groups for practice and drop-in activities. Our intent in managing informal or “drop-in” use of multipurpose room space is to provide facility access to patrons looking for a specific space to complete their activity.

Multipurpose General Policies

Multipurpose rooms are scheduled with group fitness activities, club sport practices, student organizations, and other rental groups. Patrons may utilize the multipurpose rooms via same day reservation or facility rental.

  • Equipment located in the multipurpose rooms is only available when authorized by Campus Recreation. All equipment must remain in the designated room.
  • Only non-marking shoes are allowed in the room(s).
  • Activity deemed potentially damaging to the equipment, mirrors, and floor is prohibited, as determined by the Campus Recreation staff.
  • Copyrighted movies and instructional videos are not permitted.
  • Personal music is permitted. Genre & volume must be family appropriate.
  • Activities which could damage the mirrors, windows, or ceiling tiles are strictly prohibited.
  • Patrons should not lean or put hands on the mirrors.

Facility Rental Policies

  • Partition walls may only be operated by Campus Recreation staff.
  • For $11/hour, a University student group can rent either MP 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 for their activity.
