Seaver Center

The Seaver Center is located on the campus of Rockford University and hosts all of the Regents home basketball and volleyball events. In addition to the main competition gym, the building also houses a fitness center with a weight room, athletic training room, multiple locker rooms and an auxiliary gymnasium. The auxiliary gym doubles as a recreational space for everyone on campus to enjoy, featuring two basketball hoops and a court, a volleyball net and a court and three drop down batting cages. The upstairs of the building was recently renovated to create multiple lounges and a space for strength and conditioning. 

The building is also home to the Rockford University Physical Education department. The space features multiple classrooms and offices for students and faculty to enjoy.  

Regular building hours are available at the bottom of the page. Holiday and break hours are available at the bottom of the page during the appropriate times of the year. 

All Rockford University students, faculty and staff with proper photo identification, may use the Seaver Center facilities during recreation hours. Please note that no one will be allowed in the fitness center during the times when a team has reserved the space. Those team reservation times will be posted on the front door.
