Center for Recreation and Sports

The 76,000 square-foot Center for Recreation and Sports (CRS) opened in 2008 as a vibrant, energized place to take part in your favorite sport or activity.

The spacious atrium provides views to the outdoors as well as to the fitness center, pool and studio in Woodruff Hall. A friendly staff member will greet you at the information control desk and direct you to your desired destination. Relax or meet up with friends in the mezzanine lounge, or grab a healthy snack or smoothie at the Legends Café after your workout.

Enjoy views of the outdoors from the three-lane walking and jogging track which is approx. 1/10th of a mile. (9 1/2 times around make a mile).

A three-court gymnasium for basketball, volleyball, badminton, and many other activities are located on the lower level. Sneakers are required for participating in any activities in the gym. Food, drinks, and gum are not allowed.
