Seventy percent of undergraduate students at Rensselaer are actively engaged in athletics,
a cornerstone of campus life.

	RPI Athletics

Twenty-three varsity teams, 50 intramural and club sports, and a variety of sports-related organizations ranging from billiards and bowling to squash and volleyball allow students countless opportunities for physical fitness, competition, and recreation.

Rensselaer sports teams are bringing recognition and honors to the Institute and the student-athletes who excel in their sports and in the classroom.

In fact, over the past three years, Rensselaer has had 20 National Academic All-Americans — a figure that ranks among the best in the nation.

Playing its first season in the highly competitive ECAC Hockey League, the women’s ice hockey team qualified for the league playoffs. In addition, the men’s cross country team earned the second highest GPA in the nation.

East Campus Athletic Village

To enhance and expand facilities for student athletes, Rensselaer is currently constructing a new East Campus Athletic Village.

This major construction project includes renovations to the Houston Field House, a multi-purpose stadium with seating for 5,000, a basketball arena with seating for 1,200, a new 50-meter pool, an indoor track and field area, and new tennis courts.
