Fitness and Recreation Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Boston University Fitness and Recreation Center (or FitRec) is an athletic facility at Boston University. Built in 2004-2005 to replace the aging and inadequate Case Gym, the FitRec was built on the site of a National Guard Armory, to which there is a nod in the form of an informative plaque, found just west of the building.[1][2]
The $97 million building, which opened in April of 2005 includes an 18,000 square feet (1,700 m²) weight and cardio room, an 1/8 mile (200 m) indoor jogging track, a climbing wall, two swimming pools, a ProShop, various gyms, racketball and squash courts, and an oft-cited lazy river. A total of 4500 students use the facility daily.[3]
