Recreation and Wellness Autograph Session

On June 23, students, faculty, staff and others gathered to add their signature to a steel frame beam being used in the construction of the Student Recreation and Wellness Center on ground that used to be the Parking Lot 11. The $61 million center is expected to be completed in about 18 months with an anticipated opening of fall 2010. The 126,000-square-foot facility will feature weight and fitness machines, cardio theater, a wellness center, rock-climbing wall, indoor running track, basketball/volleyball/badminton courts, multi-activity courts, outside recreation pool and spa, sand volleyball, racquetball courts, health food shop, personal trainers and group fitness classes.
