Although Reed may be small, the school's facilities allow for a wide range of activities. From sports or computing to studying or drinking coffee, Reed offers its students numerous state-of-the-art facilities to accommodate any desire or educational need. Students generally find Reed's campus to be one of the most well-maintained of any of the schools that they have visited. Thanks to the excellent Physical Plant maintenance and a devoted staff of employees, alongside countless contributions, Reed's facilities remain top-notch and conducive to any desire a Reedie may possess, be it for good coffee at one of our on-campus coffeehouses or a quick stop in the Sports Center's dry sauna. Most students appreciate the wide range and availability of campus facilities and attempt to make as much use of them as they can. Although, most Reedies agree that no one here spends a great amount of time in the gym.

In order to fully comprehend the wide variety of facilities and their diverse nature, here is a list of free services that Reed provides to its students and employees: three computer labs that feature updated computers, free sporting equipment for rent at the sports center, free pool access for most of the day, a student-run student union where both activities and studying can occur, a free pool hall with a jukebox and six large pool tables, a nice arcade with four pinball machines, and a very large, comprehensive library collection. Additionally, any feature missing from campus, like a movie theater or a bowling alley, can be found within minutes from campus.
