More About the Facilities

Cardio Deck

Treadmills, ellipticals and stationary bikes populate the upstairs cardio deck, which is just next to the racquetball courts where you can play a few matches with friends.

Indoor Track

Jog around the one-eighth mile track that circles the cardio deck and overlooks the weight room and three basketball courts.

Did You Know?

Your enrollment as a student includes access to the rec center facilities, group fitness classes and intramural sports.

Intramural Sports

Form a team and join an intramural sport, like the basketball league that plays on the indoor courts most evenings early in the spring semester.

Climbing Wall

Scale to 30 feet on the indoor climbing wall (and if you need a primer before you rope up, the rec center offers belay classes and certification for safe climbing).
