Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

UR has more than adequate facilities that are convenient and readily available to students. There is plenty to do: exercise, swim, play basketball, tennis, shoot pool, watch movies (the list goes on-and-on). Several basketball and raquetball courts are available. One excellent addition to the facilities at the University of Richmond is the newly renovated athletic complex called the Weinstein Center for Recreation and Wellness. It’s one of the most popular and well-attended buildings on campus. It also is one of only five facilities in the country to receive the 2008 National Intramural Recreational Sports Association Outstanding Sports Facility award, with state of the art equipment, clean and spacious locker rooms, two group exercise rooms, and ample space to work out and play.

The fact that UR has an on-campus bar (the Cellar) is one of the biggest highlights of the school. It is great to be able to grab a few drinks on campus with your friends and not have to worry about finding a ride home. More schools should follow this example because it allows students to drink safely in a controlled environment. The Cellar makes UR a school with great academic potential, but also one with a reasonable atmosphere for entertainment. With the exception of a few possible additions, the facilities at UR are extensive enough that you will never run out of things to do.

Great Facilities

The gym is really great on campus: tons of treadmills, a nice pool, and lots of equipment that is available to use. The library is also very nice, though it can get very crowded during exams.

Underrated and outstanding!

Facilities are outstanding. The school's got a healthy endowment and they've really spread the wealth around campus with new construction projects, updates to existing buildings and great attention to outdoor landscaping. Academic and administrative buildings are modern and well maintained. Same goes for the library, student center, dining hall, theater and all sports and recreational facilities. Dorms, as expected, receive the least amount of resources, although are pretty well maintained and clean. The weakest link on campus might be the UFA (University Forest Apartments) that are starting to show some age inside and out. The apartments also lack the style of the Gothic grandeur construction found elsewhere on campus, and sort of stand apart from the rest of the campus beauty.

All in all, however, great facilities at UR, housed in buildings with a lot of old world charm.
