Opening Friday,
Feb. 3, is the Student Recreation Center, part of the $17.6 million
West Complex adjacent to and architecturally compatible with the
Save Mart Center. The complex was funded with student fees and
private gifts.
The 92,000
square-foot, two-story building houses a 13,000 square-foot fitness
center (with cardio equipment and free weights), a jogging and
running track, two aerobic and dance studios, two racquetball
courts, four full-size courts for basketball, volleyball and
badminton, plus locker rooms and showers.
Two
academic-related components are part of the complex:
-
Opening with the recreation center will be the Leon and
Pete Peters Educational Center, a 300-seat state-of-the-art
tiered auditorium with classrooms to host public programs,
workshops and conferences. The center was made possible by a
gift from the Leon S. Peters and Pete P. Peters Foundation.
-
Scheduled to open at the end of March is the permanent home
of the Lyles Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship,
established in 2001 with a gift from William Lyles.
