Rental Information

About Our Facilities

The Athletic Centre, Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport, Varsity Centre & Arena, Back Campus Fields, and Robert Street Field facilities offer a wide range of athletic and meeting facilities, many of which are available for rental. Rental fees vary by facility, and availability may be limited during the school year (September through May) due to student programming. See bottom of page for fee information. Please note that student groups receive priority when booking rental spaces. (Students during the school year please visit for how to apply.)

Rental Guidelines

Rental requests are only considered after internal program requirements have been fulfilled.

Due to limited availability, long-term rental bookings are rarely offered.

We are unable to accommodate commercial ventures that directly compete with our internal programs.

For film requests please visit for how to apply. 

Insurance Requirements

A comprehensive general liability insurance policy is required to confirm any rental. This policy must cover bodily injury and property damage, with coverage limits of $5,000,000. The insurance certificate must name "The Governing Council of the University of Toronto" as an additional insured.

Note:

  • Rental groups composed entirely of students or facility members are not required to provide insurance. However, a valid membership card or day pass is necessary for access during the rental period.
  • Individuals teaching or instructing during the event must provide a certificate of qualifications prior to confirming the rental.

Timeline for Rental Requests

We schedule rentals on a term-by-term basis and accept submissions for rental of space no more than 3 months prior to the start of each school term. We require a minimum of 10 business days to process your request. 

  • Fall term submissions begin July 1
  • Winter term submissions begin October 1
  • Spring and Summer term submissions begin February 1

If your rental request is for a large-scale event one full day or more, we recommend submitting your request a minimum of 6 months in advance to assess availability.
