Student Recreation Center
The UC Riverside Student Recreation Center opened in January 1994, providing a state-of-the-art facility for students to build their physical fitness as well as a home for the Highlander basketball and volleyball teams.
The Student Recreation Center has also hosted events such as Midnight Madness, the Chancellor's Convocation for New Students, graduations, concerts and presentations.
In the summer of 2003, a new public address system and sound enhancing tiles were installed to improve fans' viewing and listening experience.The entire 80,000-square-foot building was planned by students and funded through student fees. It is home to an extensive intramural program open to all students and it includes four racquetball/wallyball courts and one squash court, a 6,000-square foot weight training facility and a 3,000 square foot area dedicated to cardio-fitness machines. It also has full locker rooms and three multipurpose rooms.
