The Department of Athletics and the S. Peter Volpe Athletic Center offer students an opportunity to participate in intercollegiate, club, intramural and recreational activities. Students may use the complex for general recreational purposes. There is a weight room with Olympic weights, and Universal and Nautilus equipment. When the ice is in the rink, there are posted times for both stick practice and public skating for students, faculty and staff. Aerobics is offered to all students both first and second semesters, free of charge.
Some equipment is issued for use by students.
However, students must present a valid Merrimack College ID and sign out all equipment.
