Summer Operations Announcement (May 2025)
To continue to provide opportunities for the Notre Dame community to stay active and engaged throughout the summer, RecSports will modify various facility hours in the weeks and months ahead. Additional facility updates will be shared on the RecSports website as they become available. Thank you in advance for your flexibility.
Modified Summer Hours and Facility Closures
Beginning Saturday, May 10, RecSports will shift to modified summer hours. The Smith Center for Recreational Sports and the Climbing Wall will remain open on Monday, May 12, and Tuesday, May 13, and again following Commencement Weekend on Monday, May 19. The Rockne Memorial and the North Dome will be closed for the summer. St. Joseph Beach will also be closed except for pre-approved events reserved through RecSports.
Senior Week and Commencement Weekend Closures
In recognition of Senior Week and Commencement Weekend, and to accommodate facility maintenance and new equipment deliveries, all RecSports facilities will be closed from Wednesday, May 14, through Sunday, May 18. Facilities will reopen with updated summer hours and offerings on Monday, May 19.
Smith Center Repairs and Maintenance
Beginning Monday, May 19, construction will begin in the Smith Center to replace the wood fitness activity studio floors and repair the basketball court. Three of the four available studios and all of the basketball courts will be offline until the start of the 2025 fall semester. All other facility areas will remain open throughout construction.
RecSports anticipates short-term closures of the Smith Center and the Climbing Wall when construction requires the building be cleared of staff and participants for safety reasons. Any changes to operating hours will be announced in advance and shared on the RecSports website.
Group Fitness Passes: Summer Discount
To help you stay moving all summer long, RecSports will offer a discounted Group Fitness pass for $45, which grants access to all fitness classes offered throughout the summer session. Passes will go on sale Sunday, May 18, and classes will begin on Tuesday, May 27.
