Recreation Facilities

Welcome to the Center for Recreation and Sport (CRS) and newly renovated Woodruff Hall! The 60,000 square foot CRS opened in the summer of 2008 and is also the home of our Adelphi Panthers (Athletic Department). Attractive and airy, each space is both comfortable and functional. The CRS is a vibrant, energized place to come and take part in your favorite sport or activity.

Woodruff Hall, originally opened in 1929, is newly renovated and scheduled to open in Fall 2009. Experience a combination of traditional charm and modern activity and technology. Whether it is fitness or leisure you have in mind, Woodruff is the place to be!
