The Equipment Room

The Equipment Room (E-Room), located underneath the Skybarn on Farm Acre Road on South Campus, is where we store all of the club gear. Here is a map of how to get there.

You can also go up to the E-Room to just hang out, thumb through our collection of outdoor print and visual media, or learn all kinds of new skills.

Open Hours

Weekly open hours are held from 7-9 pm Wednesday and Thursday evenings (just one day during the summer to be decided by the E-Room Chair) for you to sign out or return gear for a club trip or rent gear for your own private trip (check out our super cheap rates, even cheaper for members).

The E-Room phone number is 443-2956. If no one is there you can leave a message on the machine.

Borrowing Equipment

If you need to borrow gear, check to see if your trip has a designated E-Room night when the leader will be there specifically to assist people on your trip. If you can’t make it to the E-Room at that time, be sure to let them know and make any necessary arrangements.

IMPORTANT: Gear is lent/rented out for a period of one week (or until the next regular E-Room hours in the case of short vacations), unless specific arrangements have been made with our E-Room staff. Please be diligent about returning equipment in a timely manner so that we don’t have shortages of equipment for others to use. If you fail to return your gear within a reasonable period of time, we may request a hold on your bursar’s account until the situation is addressed. So return your gear, or deal with the headache that’s going to result from having a hold on your account. Either one… But we’d prefer if you returned your gear.
