Bruner Fitness and Recreation Center Policies

We hope you take advantage of this facility to improve physical fitness, wellness and leisure time. Through the generosity of many individuals and businesses, and the careful stewardship of the Illinois College Board of Trustees, the Bruner Fitness and Recreation Center has been constructed for the benefit of the students, faculty and staff of Illinois College and their families. These individuals and the members of the Board of Trustees and Alumni Board of Directors, by virtue of their association with the College, will receive complementary membership and usage of the facility. Proper identification is needed for use of the facility. Memberships are not available to the general public.

The facility was constructed with the primary purpose of promoting wellness on campus by providing a venue for recreation and competitive athletic programs. Public events may be hosted at the Bruner Fitness and Recreation Center when they do not interfere with student usage of the facility.
