The Wood RecRe312: A Beautiful Blend of Function and Form

· by Griffin Harrington

At RecRe, we’re always thinking about how to help campuses do more with less — to increase access, elevate student experiences, and unlock new value from underutilized resources. And sometimes, the best way to think outside the box… is to reimagine the box itself.

We’re thrilled to introduce the Wood RecRe312, a limited-edition version of our popular 312 rental box, built with USA-sourced wood and designed to blend seamlessly into the most beautiful, high-traffic spaces on campus — especially student unions, lounges, and collaborative areas.

This box isn’t just a piece of tech — it’s a piece of furniture. And we’re incredibly proud of it.

Designed for the Modern Student Union

Over the years, we’ve installed our classic metal RecRe units in residence halls, student unions, rec centers, libraries, and academic buildings. These sleek, durable boxes come to life with custom decals and wraps, giving each campus the ability to showcase its unique culture and branding while making inventory more accessible to students.

But when we stepped into some of the newly renovated student unions — with their natural light, warm materials, and carefully curated aesthetics — we saw an opportunity to go further.

That’s what led us to create a version of RecRe that feels at home in these spaces. The Wood RecRe312 offers the same powerful functionality as our metal units — automated rentals, mobile access, and real-time analytics — but wrapped in sustainable craftsmanship that looks more like furniture than equipment.

It’s an activation point, a tech-enabled service hub that complements the architecture around it while quietly improving how campuses lend and manage inventory.

One Platform, Two Looks — Endless Possibilities

Both our metal and wood RecRe units are powered by the same intuitive mobile-first software platform. Students can reserve and return gear from any device, get automated reminders, and access what they need using their campus credentials. Admins get full oversight with real-time data, inventory tracking, and built-in accountability tools.

Whether it’s game equipment, esports accessories, creative tools, or household essentials, RecRe helps campuses turn static spaces into dynamic service points — all while saving staff time and offering students a better experience.

And now, you have two beautiful options for how it looks.


Looks Great. Works Smarter. Delivers More.

We believe campus infrastructure should be both functional and inspiring. The Wood RecRe312 reflects that belief — a limited-edition, high-touch product that’s more than just a locker. It’s a reflection of your campus values, your design priorities, and your commitment to student access.

We can’t wait to see how campuses pair wood and metal units in different environments — and how students respond to having smart access to shared inventory in spaces that feel intentionally designed.
