Student Recreation Center
As the centerpiece for Campus Recreation, the Student Recreation Center (SRC) is our student-operated facility that provides endless fitness and recreational opportunities, offering three multi-purpose courts, a four-lane running/walking track, a climbing wall, a stretching area, a cardiovascular area, and a weight room. We also provide a comprehensive intramural program with various leagues and one night events, five currently recognized club sports, and other recreational programming.
The Student Recreation Center is supported by student fees and available to students with a PennWest ID who have paid the Student Recreation Center fee (note: separate fee from Activity and Student Center fees). Access is also available for a fee to PennWest Global Online students, university employees, and alumni.
