Informal recreation is the unstructured, voluntary use of the recreation facilities. The staff in the Recreational Sports Department realizes the importance of this avenue of recreation and we make every effort to provide our students and faculty/staff with these recreational opportunities. Due to the increase in the Mandatory Student Activity Fee, the recreation facilities are continuously becoming more available to the campus community. Many facilities are open early in the morning and most facilities remain open until 11 p.m., Sunday through Thursday. Most facilities are also available until 10:00 p.m. throughout the weekend. We encourage all students and faculty/staff to take advantage of these hours.

STUDENTS - YOU NOW HAVE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO THE DOWNTOWN SCENE!!!

    The recreation facilities are available to:
  • Students who are currently enrolled at SUNY Cortland
  • Faculty/staff currently employed at SUNY Cortland and their immediate family members
  • Retired faculty/staff
  • Current Club Recreation members
  • Guests of anyone listed above (Guest Passes are $4.00 each per day)

ID REQUIREMENT

All participants must present a current SUNY Cortland photo ID/Club Rec card to use the facilities. To assure fair, consistent enforcement, the card must be presented each time one participates. This include spouses, dependents and club rec members. Dependents under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent at all times.

STUDENT LIFE CENTER

In order to better fulfill our mission and to significantly improve the quality of life for all students, we will begin construction of a new $51.2 million Student Life Center at SUNY Cortland in the near future, with the target opening date of spring, 2013.  This facility will have a vast array of physical recreation components, as well as a variety of social spaces.

Some of the components will include:

     * Four multi-purpose courts                         * Climbing Wall
     * One MAC court                                         * Combative room
     * Suspended jogging track                           * Large lounge area with big-
     * Large, comprehensive fitness facility          screen TVs and table games
     * Four racquetball/squash courts                 * Large food court
     * Recreational swimming pool                     * Locker rooms
     * Aerobics studio                                          * Large game room with billiards,
     * Outdoor pursuits center                                table tennis tables and batting
     * Pro shop/bookstore                                       cages
     * Large conference room                             * Large classroom

This new Student Life Center will be operated on an “Open Recreation” concept, which means that it will always be available for our students' recreational use, from 6 a.m. until midnight the week, and until 2 a.m. on weekends.  By providing high-quality, consistent recreational services and a place for students to “hang out” and socialize, the SLC will be an excellent alternative to the downtown scene.  It will also be invaluable in recruiting new students, and will enhance the quality of life more than anything else we could possibly do.  We are very excited to begin the planning process for this wonderful addition to our SUNY Cortland campus!  Please call Julian Wright, Director of Recreational Sports (753-5585), with any questions or concerns about the new Student Life Center.
