SHAPE OPERATING HOURS - Please note pool hours above
Vermont State University SHAPE hours of operation have been scheduled to serve students, staff and community members alike. Please be advised that the hours of operation are dependent on when the students are, or are not, in session.
Walk-ins and non-members are welcome to use the facility for a modest daily fee. Please see the memberships page for current rates.
Please note the pool closes 30 minutes prior to the building to allow swimmers enough time to shower before closing.
To check to see whether there is an event that might affect availability of the gym or pool, check the calendar SHAPE classes and events
*Please note that we are experiencing a shortage of lifeguards, therefore our traditional pool hours are no longer guaranteed.
Open hours are adjusted during VTSU break weeks and summer.
SHAPE is closed for several holidays, including July 4, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and Commencement weekend.
Summer hours start after commencement each year in May.
