FACILITIES
Designed by Hastings and Chivetta, the Marshall Recreation Center opened in 2009 to rave reviews by both students and faculty. The center also serves as a laboratory for students enrolled in courses in exercise science, sports and recreation. The three-story facility offers students and faculty an indoor pool, a four-court gymnasium, a three-lane jogging track, racquetball courts, group exercise studios, a juice bar, pro shop, outdoor deck areas and a three-story climbing wall. As the project’s manager, CENTERS fully maintains and operates the facility as a separate enterprise from the university. All procurement and expenses are managed through CENTERS’ corporate staff and all building maintenance, repairs and custodial services are directed by staff on site.
