school gym

Campus athletic space

A school gym is the gymnasium in an educational institution—the large indoor space used for physical education classes, sports practice, and athletic events.

School gyms double as multipurpose spaces for assemblies, dances, and graduation ceremonies: The pep rally was held in the school gym.

The term often evokes memories of dodgeball, rope climbing, and the distinctive smell of rubber mats.
