Evidence of Compliance: 

The Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies has access to adequate and appropriate space for faculty collaboration, student study, and student organization activities.

Faculty Conference Rooms

Faculty have access to two conference rooms located in the Engineering and Technology (ET) building, which are scheduled through the College of Health and Human Services Administrative Office. An additional conference room is available in the Physical Education Building, shared with the Department of Kinesiology and available when not in use by that department.

These spaces are suitable for faculty meetings, search committee interviews, thesis defenses, and collaborative planning, and are consistent with facilities provided to other departments within the College.

Student Study Areas

Students in the program have access to a variety of university-maintained study spaces, all within walking distance of department classrooms and faculty offices, including:

• The University Student Union

• The University Library

• The Steve and Nini Horn Center

These areas offer quiet study zones, group study rooms, computer access, and extended hours to support academic success.

Student Organization Meeting Space

The department actively supports student organizations by providing meeting spaces. The Recreation Society student organization is allocated classroom ET 103 for weekly meetings and other activities. In past years, students have also met in University Student Union meeting rooms and have been encouraged to reserve space in other CHHS facilities as needed.
