ARC has two spacious hall areas which are available for hire, either for one-off events or regular bookings.
To enquire about availability or make a booking, visit the ARC reception desk or call +44 (0)141 331 3116. Alternatively email arc@gcu.ac.uk.
Large hall
This hall is the equivalent of six badminton courts and can be used for a variety of activities such as indoor football such as seven-a-sides (with no spectating area). Other activities include basketball, volleyball, netball, badminton and ARC's timetabled classes. The hall can be split in half by a heavy curtain to accommodate separate groups on each half of the hall.
Small hall
Despite its name, this hall is the equivalent of three badminton courts and can be used for a variety of activities such as badminton, volleyball, martial arts (judo, aikido, taekwondo, for example) and ARC's timetabled classes. Please note that basketball cannot be played in this hall.

Volleyball
Net
The ARC can accommodate a maximum of three volleyball courts at any one time (one in the small hall and two in the large hall).
Two of our volleyball nets have antennas - customers must state at the time of booking if a net with antennas is needed, otherwise the court may be set up with the net without antennas.
Net height
Our volleyball posts have height markings for schools, women and men. We do not offer mixed height, that is somewhere in between the markings, as we don't manually measure the height.
Indoor yoga room
This area is located after the turnstiles, on the left-hand side of the ground floor between the ladies' changing room and weights room. It has a mirrored wall and can accommodate approximately 15 people.
To enquire about availability or make a booking, visit the ARC reception desk or call +44 (0)141 331 3116. Alternatively email arc@gcu.ac.uk.
This area can be used for:
- Dedicated space for yoga, pilates and kettlebells on ARC's class timetable
- For exclusive use of the yoga room for a small group activity, it can be booked for £17 per hour
- Can otherwise be used as a warm-up, cool down and stretch area for gym users when there's no booking.
The minimum booking duration is one hour.
Multi use games area (MUGA)
Located behind GCU's Student Association building, the MUGA is managed by the ARC.
MUGA can accommodate outdoor activities such as tennis, football and circuit or boot camps. Other activities may be considered so contact us to find out.
To enquire about availability or make a booking, visit the ARC reception desk or call +44 (0)141 331 3116. Alternatively email arc@gcu.ac.uk.
