The Kress Events Center is used by a wide variety of users groups and for many reasons, such as recreation, intramurals, athletic events, campus events, rentals, and physical education classes. The demand for the use of the limited space presents a demanding challenge for the Kress Events Center. The gyms may not be reserved for open recreation purposes only, reservations by University student group programs are always welcome.
