History: The Student Recreation Center offers recreational activites for the students and faculty. This large fitness center is located on west campus at the corner of Ninth and Cotanche. The center is more than three acres wide and contains many divisions that are eye catching at first glance. The weight training facility has many machines to compliment its structure and size, free weights, and several cardiovascular workouts. The indoor swimming pool is equipped with eight lanes, while the 20 ft. x 40 ft. outdoor pool has an area for sunbathing and recreational play. On the second floor, there is a three lane track, a stretching area, seven racquet courts which line one side of the forum, six sports forums (basketball courts), and three aerobic studios. For a cool drink or an energy booster, the Recreation Center, provides a student store called the "Center Court" for the benefit of all who use the the Student Recreation Center. It is constructed of red brick to complement the other buildings on campus.
