NEW OUTDOOR PLAZA CONSTRUCTION
14 REC GUIDE
@recsports
Since the opening of the Student Recreation Center more than twenty years ago, the Texas A&M student body has increased by twenty-five percent and continues to grow substantially. With an average of over 1.2 million entries per year, the Rec Center has essentially operated at capacity from the beginning. In order to address this problem and accommodate a larger portion of the student body, Rec Sports has embarked upon an extensive expansion/renovation of the Rec Center. The $55 million expansion/renovation project includes 139,000 square feet of new construction, which will increase the size of the Rec Center by twenty-five percent, and 56,000 square feet of renovation. The project is being funded without an increase in the Recreational Sports fee!
Summer 2016 Updates: Weight & Fitness Room The new weight room space is going to increase from 14,500 square feet to just over 30,000 square feet. The free weight area will be 10,000+ square feet, the selectorized/machine strength equipment area will be approximately 5,500 square feet, and the cardio equipment area will house over eighty pieces of cardio equipment. Inside the weight and fitness room will be a small, indoor turf area for warm-up, movement training and stretching. A personal and small group training suite will be located in the room that will be used for personal training sessions and new small group training programs that will be offered once the expansion is complete. Additional men’s and women’s restrooms will be located in the front entrance of the space.
New Gymnasium This new space will provide two new basketball courts that can be converted into four volleyball courts, six badminton courts, or an indoor soccer court. The gym’s wood floor installation is set to begin soon.
Activity/Fitness Space
weight room expansion
This space will include two new activity/fitness rooms that are approximately 2,000 square feet each; a 3,500 square foot event room that will be available for department activities, programming, fitness classes and meeting room space; a 6,000 square foot event room that will be used for banquets and large presentations; and a smaller meeting room for approximately 80 people that will be used for student staff and department meetings. The 6,000 square foot room will have the option to be divided into two 3,000 square foot rooms. All rooms will include up-to-date audio and/or visual equipment. In addition, we will also have a 1,200 square foot heavy bag room that will be used for boxing technique, with 3 heavy bags and 3-4 speed bags that will be used for high intense training.
Outdoor Plaza A new plaza will be created to provide a shaded lounge area for students and will include outdoor furniture, outdoor kitchen space and additional restrooms. The 16,000 square foot plaza will be located directly on the roof of the weight room expansion. Construction of this space is in progress.
Indoor Lap Pool The new lap pool will feature an 8-lane, 25-yard shallow water pool, providing another option for our members and guests to meet their swimming workout needs. This pool will be an essential resource for all swimming activities, including swimming classes for the Kinesiology Department and Rec swim for our members and guests, especially when we host large swim meets.
Completion Dates The new indoor lap pool is expected to be available for use in June 2016. The new gymnasium, new activity/fitness spaces, and weight and fitness room should be available for use in August 2016. The outdoor plaza will be available for use in September 2016.

Weight & Fitness Room Due to the expansion and renovation of our main strength and conditioning space, the weight and fitness room is currently located on courts 1 & 2 in the Student Recreation Center. Although the situation is not optimal, we assure you that we have done our best to set up this temporary location to accommodate our members’ needs!

Our strength and conditioning staff is always available to help you learn how to properly use the equipment, give you exercise advice, or even give you a spot during a lift. Members of our Strength & Conditioning staff are always present and willing to assist you. So, if you have any questions or need some guidance, just ask!
