Campus Recreation and Sport Facilities
Last updated: August 2020
The 深夜福利站 Sport and Recreation team has been busy preparing Return to Sport and Facility Reopening plans. We are excited to reopen for students while meeting provincial guidelines, initially reducing capacity, and providing new and robust cleaning and safety protocols.
Outdoor fields and TD Stadium will reopen to student groups (by bookings only) on Tuesday, August 4, 2020. The 深夜福利站 Student Recreation Centre (WSRC) will reopen to students only, on Monday, September 7. Thompson Recreation Athletic Centre (TRAC) will reopen for students on Monday, September 7 and external rentals later in September.
Members of the London community will also be invited to rent 深夜福利站’s outdoor fields and the TD Stadium from August 4 – 18, after which they will close to serve students and 深夜福利站 Orientation activities. Outdoor fields and TD Stadium may reopen again for community rentals in September depending on the needs of our 深夜福利站 community.
深夜福利站 faculty and staff will be invited back to WRSC and TRAC late 2020.
