Sport Facilities

Please note that during the assembly ban due to COVID-19, the gymnasium will be closed as the other University buildings.

The University of Iceland is aware that exercise is important for all students. Therefore, the University of Iceland Gymnasium at Sæmundargata is open to all students and staff for a modest fee.

The Gymnasium offers scheduled group lessons in the hall and fitness suite facilities. Groups can also hire the hall, for example, for ball games or other sports. A sauna is located in the basement of the Gymnasium building. Further information on the Gymnasium, including timetables and opening hours, is available below.
