Described by CSULB President, F. King Alexander as “The most significant building on campus since 1972,” the department of ASI Recreation now houses: Fitness, Intramural Sports, Aquatics, The Rock & Outdoor Adventures, Instructional Programming, Open Recreation and Adaptive Recreation. As one of the three largest universities nationwide absent a campus recreation center, the facility transforms the student experience at a major regional university in California. Arriving at the lobby across a large landscaped entry plaza with adjacent outdoor pool and deck, the major activity spaces are visible prior to entering. Adjacent to the entry, a café and lounge overlook the pool and ground floor activity spaces. Activity spaces are arranged on two floors on both sides of a grand circulation spine, from the building entry at the west end to the climbing/bouldering wall as a focal point to the east. Exercise equipment is distributed throughout the facility to promote integration and a variety of experiences.
