Don Ridler Field House

The campus will remain closed until 12 noon Thursday, 02/13/25. Students should log into Canvas for specific class information from their instructors. Please contact event organizers for information on specific activities. Normal operations will resume at 12pm on Thursday. Curiosity is what makes us all wonder what could someday be. But without technology, wondering, is all we’d ever be left with. With the proper tools, curiosity and technology come together to become an unstoppable force. Those tools are found at Lawrence Technological University. These tools will forever allow curiosity to obscure the line between technology and magic. Basic science, mathematics, and the humanities are fundamental to all disciplines and to an advancing society; the jumping-off point for all careers, all understanding of the human experience. The College of Arts and Sciences provides these intellectual foundations for all students on the LTU campus.

Good 'ol LTU!!! Came here for homecoming weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see all the changes made to the campus and sports teams added. The field house here has definitely changed but for the better. Come check out our Blue devils!

Good parking. Easy entrance to find. Locker rooms were cleaner than bathrooms but with a few hundred kids it may have been them.

In the past the LTU gym was an acceptable place to lift weights. Over time more and more athletes were using the gym facilities and management evidently didn’t know how to cope with the growth. I do realize this could be due a lack of funds. But, I feel NO consideration was given to existing alumni who have paid for years and donated thousands in the past to help expand the overall campus. Myself, I donated thousands to help build a study/testing lab. At various times the locker rooms were unavailable to alumni, students and LTU staff. This was due to games and activities in session. This appeared to be occurring more frequent as each year passed. If you were in a situation where you needed to change you had to squeeze into a bathroom along with others doing likewise. The next incident occurred when all the weight machines were moved into a racket ball court. This was on the opposite side of the complex. I was told this was done to make room for more free weights for the athletes. Yet a room next door sat there with additional older free weights. Why?? When a game was going on, the racket ball court where the weight machines were, was closed off to alumni and students. If you wanted to lift you were forced to use the free weight rooms while an activity was in session. The final straw for me was when I went there on Aug 15, 2018. I discovered, without warning all the weight machines were moved out of the racket ball court to another location on campus. I would now have to leave the gym and go there if I wanted to use weight machines. This all happened AFTER I paid my full year alumni membership fee up front. We were NOT told this was going to happen and now try to get a work out in. We are all packed into the free weight room and sitting there with NO leg and arm machines. You are now forced to do squats for legs and dumbells for arms. If you want to circuit train forget it. They could have at least put the weight machines next door into the other room and cleared out the older free weights machines. Maybe not all of it would have fit in that room, but at least there would be some machines. Poor planning IMO. I was told the machines are for non-athletes and the free weights are for the athletes. To remove weight machines and reserve that strictly for the non-athletes and then categorize the free weight room strictly for the athletes makes no sense to me. There are benefits that can be experienced using both.

It's nice but doesn't have too good of equitment and a few things are missing that were there from before. Overall still a good gym to go to if you have a LTU ID.
