Facilities
UREC has traditionally been a single location with most activities taking place in and around our facilities. For more information about facility click here or take a VIRTUAL TOUR. (**Recommended browsers for virtual tour: Explorer or Firefox**) With the addition of Memorial Fields and other indoor spaces in Memorial Hall (Click here for a current camps map) we can better accommodate our intramural and sport club programs. We are also in the process of developing an adventure leadership center located near the arboretum and are in the early stages of planning an "outdoor" UREC near the corner of Port Republic Road and Neff Avenue.
