Since Skoltech is a young institute, we still don’t have a sports hall of our own yet. We rent one in the Moscow School of Management where our students play sports two times a week. During the warm season, students can play sports on the sports ground near the pond behind the Skoltech building. To book a sports ground you just need to send an e-mail request to Alyabiev Vladimir at *protected email*.This year we opened a brand-new gym. The gym is located in room 062, 0 floor, in the blue building. To get access to the gym you need to read and sign the safety policy in the student life office. The gym is available 24/7. Do you like swimming? Here is a website where you can find a swimming pool at an affordable price. Some places offer good discounts for students.
