The Equipment Room
The Equipment Room (E-Room) is where we store all of the club gear. You can also go up to the E-Room to just hang out, meet cool people, thumb through our collection of outdoor print and visual media, or learn all kinds of new skills.
Open Hours
During the semester, the E-Room is open from 7-9 PM each Wednesday and Thursday to allow members time to sign out and return gear from club trips, as well as allowing for private rentals. Outside of the semester, E-Room hours are by appointment only.
Directions
NOTE: We’re located at the entrance on the opposite side of the building from Farm Acre Rd, with our door facing onto a lawn. If you’re in the parking lot, there’s a path between the two buildings that loops around back to our door.
Taking the bus? Hop on the 344 bus at College Place on Main Campus and get off at first stop on South Campus – “Small and Chinook”. From there, walk deeper into South Campus on Farm Acre Rd and look for a red barn type building with Fix-It vans parked in the lower lot in front.
Borrowing Equipment for a Club Trip
If you are going on an official club trip, you may borrow any equipment you need FREE OF CHARGE!
Check to see if your trip has a designated E-Room night when the leader will be there specifically to assist people with gearing up for 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 week’s 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 assess you for late fees or ultimately 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.
