COVID-19 FAQs for Community Members

Is the main campus open to the public?

Yes, the Bard College campus in Annandale is now open to the community. Bard College performances, exhibitions, and academic events are also open.

Prospective visitors who are unvaccinated may visit campus facilities, providing they test negative for COVID within 24 hours before coming to campus. Anyone experiencing COVID symptoms should refrain from coming to campus.

The Stevenson Athletic Center gym facilities remain closed to visitors; at this time visitor access is limited to observing sporting events. Please see below for details. 

Is Montgomery Place open to the public?

The Montgomery Place grounds are open daily from dawn to dusk. Mansion tours are currently suspended. Visit the Montgomery Place website for more information.

Is the Stevenson Athletic Center open?

The Stevenson Athletic Center is currently open to students, faculty, and staff, and family members of faculty and staff (age 16+) who have been approved by the College. Athletics and Recreation staff, in consultation with the Response Team, will continue to evaluate the potential return of community use to the Stevenson Athletic Center. Updated requirements will be posted to bardathletics.com.

Community memberships will also be available soon to people interested in purchasing access to the pool and/or squash courts. Anyone accessing the gym must be fully vaccinated and boosted. Information regarding these memberships will be posted to bardathletics.com.

The gym is open to vaccinated and boosted spectators at sporting events. Any visitor wishing to attend an event at the gym must be prepared to show proof of vaccination and a booster before entering the facility. Until further notice, gym facilities remain off limits to visitors who wish to exercise; at this time visitor access is limited to observing sporting events. Please stay tuned for further updates about expanded gym access for visitors.

What is Bard doing to help keep nearby communities safe?

Although Bard College is now considered a fully vaccinated campus by CDC standards, there is still a mix of vaccinated and unvaccinated people in public spaces beyond Bard. We ask all Bardians to follow the protocols in place at off-campus locations, some of which require masking. Any Bardian who prefers to remain masked in places where it is not explicitly required, on campus or off, is welcome to do so.
