Facility Reservations
Did you know you can reserve NIU Recreation facilities?
You can rent a space for a short-term event, book a court or studio, or request a recurring reservation.
Special Events and Recurring Reservations
Reservations are required for some events. You must request a reservation if:
- You want to rent space for an event with extensive equipment or set-up/take-down needs.
- You want to reserve space at the Outdoor Recreation Sports Complex or the outdoor basketball courts.
- You want to make a recurring reservation (for example, you want to reserve a certain space for every Friday afternoon during a semester).
You must submit your reservation request at least three weeks in advance. You may need to give more notice for large events.
Inquiring about availability or submitting a request does not guarantee a reservation. Our staff will contact you to sign a contract if space is available.
Registered Student Groups
Student groups registered with the Student Government Association may complete a request through Huskie Hub for any events held on campus.
NIU Departments and Community Groups
Please complete and submit a rental request form. Cost estimate will be provided after the rental request form is submitted.
