History

The 80,000 square feet (7,400 m²) UC Riverside Student Recreation Center (SRC) opened on January 11, 1994. In 2010, students voted to expand the SRC with funding from their student services' fees. Planning and construction took place over the course of the next four years (2010-2014) with the renovated facility opening on October 3, 2014. The renovations "nearly doubled the size of the current SRC (increasing from 80,000 square feet (7,400 m²) to 155,000 square feet (14,400 m²)), adding an indoor climbing wall, an indoor track, a pool, a multi-activity court and newly renovated weight rooms."^[2]
