The Herman W. Lay Physical Activities Center, or PAC, is the hub of student fitness and recreational programs and activities. It is home to dozens of aerobic and weightlifting machines and has a basketball court, group fitness studio, climbing gym (coming August 2026), and gathering/study spaces. You’ll find plenty of options in our 36,000-square foot facility. The building also houses: Health Sciences Department (HSC) and Military Science (ROTC).

Campus Recreation & Wellness manages the upper and lower North Village fields. To reserve, submit a request on 25 Live (search REC-NV) or contact Jordan Cox.

The Furman University Climbing Gym will be located in the PAC and available for all climbing levels. Trained staff members will be on-hand to provide instruction and belays. The wall will range from 20-28 ft. tall and will feature bouldering, top rope, and lead climbing. Push yourself to new heights at the Furman wall!

In recognition of his role as friend, mentor and coach, the trustees at Furman named the Furman rugby pitch John S. Roberts Rugby Field in 2009.

“John Roberts created my connection to Furman. Without the Furman Rugby Club, I don’t know what my Furman experience would have been like, but I do know it would not have been as rich. It would have lacked deep friendships, the competition I loved, and a lifelong passion for a wonderful game: all of these I owe to John,” said Furman Rugby Foundation President Trent Emeneker ’02. “While I am truly sad he is leaving Furman, I am eternally grateful for his friendship, proud to have played under him, and joyful for him as he pursues this new opportunity.”

To reserve, submit a request on 25 Live (search REC-FLC) or contact Jordan Cox.
