For clubs, organizations, and groups looking to rent out equipment for special events hosted outside of our facility, please contact the RAC Coordinators or Facility Operations, Devin Reid.

Biking

Anyone from the Mason Community with a valid ID can come to either the RAC or AFC to checkout a bike at no charge per day!

When you check out, you'll receive a bike, lock and helmet and if you check the bike out on a Friday or Saturday, you don't have to return it until Sunday Night. You can check out the bike at either the RAC or AFC through an online process allowing you to see the bike history and allowing use to track the bikes more efficiently! Read more info HERE.

Reserving Spaces

Looking to host a special event on campus? We work with all groups, clubs and organizations to provide you with the space you need - groups can even reserve facility spaces to host events! Because space is limited, reserving the space ahead of time through our RSO form would ensure the space and time requested, as well as allow our team time to set-up prior to the time requested.
