The athletic facilities of the University are available to all full-time students, faculty, and employees. There is a fee for such special services as reserved lockers, towels, and advance tennis court reservations. The indoor facilities include three gymnasiums providing collectively swimming pools, basketball courts, squash and handball courts, gymnastics areas, exercise rooms, sauna baths, steam rooms, and locker-shower areas.
Ice Rink offers recreational ice skating and skate rentals.
The air-conditioned Levy Tennis Pavilion contains eight tennis courts. More complete information is available in each gymnasium office and in the office of the director of the Department of Recreation, located in Hutchinson Gymnasium. The Student Health Service, located in Penn Tower, across from the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, maintains a staff of physicians who treat and advise students. A brochure describing the services provided and explaining student health insurance coverage is available at the Student Health Service. Full-time students are eligible for those benefits through payment of the general fee, subscription to the student health insurance company or the possession of equivalent commercial coverage, and after filing an official medical record with the Student Health Service.
