The new center was dedicated in October 2008

The energy-efficient facility provides athletic facilities and programs along with a juice bar, classrooms and a large common area.

On average, 600 people enter the center per day. On its busiest single day, 1,044 people passed through the doors—more than a fourth of the entire student body.

Student fees of $78 per semester and faculty/staff and alumni memberships help fund operations.

Director Timothy Moore oversees the center. He came from Southern Methodist University with 17 years of experience in college recreational sports administration.
