FACILITIES
Designed by Hastings and Chivetta, the Marshall Recreation Center opened in 2009 to rave reviews by both students and faculty.

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.
