Smoothie King is now open in the Vanderbilt Student Recreation Center

The access point to the recreation center has moved a few yards west, closer to the outdoor running track.   This will be our new entrance throughout the construction project.

Patrons approaching the Rec Center from 25^th Ave will be diverted from the existing sidewalk to a temporary boardwalk. The temporary boardwalk will be in place for several months while this project is completed.

Storage spaces are being built in the first and second floor corridors.   These are temporary spaces to store equipment displaced by construction on the east side of the center.

Construction barriers are being erected just inside the original access doors to the rec.  These walls will remain while construction in front of the rec continues.  The original entry will be restored when construction ends in this area.

Climbing Wall

Ever climbed before? Ever want to? The Wall is the best place to come for beginner climbing instruction, and it-€™s right on campus in the Vanderbilt Recreation Center. Whether you are a seasoned veteran and want to practice your moves, or you have never seen a pair of climbing shoes and are scared of heights, this is the place for you.

Experienced Outdoor Recreation employees are available to show you the ups and downs of climbing, and teach you the real love for this exhilarating sport. Climbing shoes are available at the wall to use, free of charges, so not owning your own is no excuse! Come check it out and you will wonder why you have never tried this before.

The Wall is staffed every evening of the week (Monday -€“ Friday) but exact hours are flexible throughout the year. The Outdoor Rec. Staff is delighted to show you how to get in the harness, climb the wall, and most importantly, get back down slowly. Just stop by whenever you see it open (i.e., the big grey cart is parked in front of the wall), check the schedule, or call (615) 343-6627 to find out times of operation for that day.

For more information about the wall contact Lee Collette at 615-322-0811 or e-mail to  outdoorrec@vanderbilt.edu

Climbing is free to Student Recreation Center members. Guests pay $10.00 per visit to use the Wall.

***Attention Patrons***
The climbing wall will maintain its regular operating hours during the Student Recreation Center renovation. There are no planned interruptions for the climbing wall.   Please continue to check this page for the most current information regarding the climbing wall and its operation.
