Facility Hours for 2010–11
Recreational Sports strives to offer a comprehensive program of the highest quality that meets the recreational needs and interests of students and other members of the UT community. One of the primary ways in which we hope to achieve this is by providing a wide array of both indoor and outdoor facilities that are available for drop-in use, open on a daily basis from early morning until late at night. Although we are pleased to share the schedule of recreational facilities for the 2010–11 academic year, you will note that there have been some adjustments in the number of facilities and their availability. These adjustments were made in order for Recreational Sports to meet its cost savings obligation in helping the University fulfill its required budget reduction plan. We believe that these adjustments still afford the UT community with a diverse set of spaces and a vast schedule of operating hours that are accommodating to all users. Establishing these hours was done with the support of student leaders and the Recreational Sports Committee, a standing committee of the University comprised of students, faculty and staff. Specifically, you will note that several satellite facilities and the Gregory Gym Sports Café will no longer be available. You will also note that the majority of the facilities will have altered hours. A complete listing of the 2010–11 facilities and their availability is included on the back cover of this publication.
