Historical note

The functions of the Intramural Program, Campus Recreation Program and the Sports Club Program were combined to form Recreation Services in 1977. Today (2011) Recreation Services provides a wide variety of programs including intramurals, sports clubs, and the Outdoor Recreation Program. Intramurals offers over 50 sports for Iowa State students, faculty, and their spouses to participate in. Iowa State is home to over 40 sports clubs, which allow students to participate in athletics at specialized levels and tournaments. The Outdoor Recreation Program provides a variety of outdoor activities such as the climbing wall, outdoor trips, workshops, and outdoor equipment rental.

Recreation Services provides opportunities for students at facilities all across campus. The primary indoor facilities are Lied Recreation Athletic Center, Beyer Hall, the Forker Building, and State Gym. These facilities provide students with access to basketball and volleyball courts, swimming pools, exercise equipment, and running tracks. Recreation Services also maintains several outdoor recreation fields adjacent to student dormitories as well as a disc golf course on the north side of campus.

 

Collection description

This collection (1928-[ongoing]) contains annual reports, information regarding facility rental requests and equipment, handbooks, news clippings, and meeting minutes. Records related to the intramural sports programs include lists of participants, schedules, score cards, ejection letters, and fliers. Information regarding hot air balloon rallies and Big Eight Recreation Conferences can be located in the collection. Several folders contain publicity materials such as newspaper clippings from the Iowa State Daily, fliers, and brochures. Other materials that are available in the collection include budget records, handbooks, program costs, and record books.

Summary reports (1920-1963) of intramural activities on campus are compiled in Summary Intramural Sports for Men, Winners and Participation (Archives call no. GV710 .I60x).
