The UCSB Recreation
Center opened in 1995 and has been one of the most popular spots
on campus ever since. The original Rec Center has two swimming
pools, two gymnasia, two weight rooms, two squash courts and five
raquetball courts. The Rec Cen Expansion (Rec Cen II) was approved
by students in Spring 2000 and opened in the Spring of 2005. The
expansion includes an additional weight room, multi-purpose gym,
climbing wall, jacuzzi, pottery studio, classroom and additional
locker facilities.
The Rec Cen has continually honored its initial
promise of always allowing for drop in recreation use. For instance,
students can be participating in a weight training class in one
of the weight rooms while the others remain open for use on a
drop in basis.
The facility is overseen by the student run
Rec Cen Governance Board
which sets policy and approves use. |
