Facility Information

UREC has traditionally been a single location with most activities taking place in and around our facilities. Click to learn more information about our building features 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 and Godwin Hall, (current campus map) we can better accommodate our intramural and sport club programs.

We are also in the process of developing an "outdoor" UREC near the corner of Port Republic Road and Neff Avenue. Check back for more updates!

New UREC Facility: UREC Upper Turf
November 2, 2008 marked the opening of UREC's newly constructed "Upper Turf." This 140,000 square foot outdoor recreational sports facility is located just above the tree line that is a backdrop for the existing turf field. The addition of this new turf will be a welcome addition to UREC outdoor facilities to help accommodate the growing number of intramural sports teams and sport club participants.

This is the largest turf that the construction company has ever built, fitting 3 flag football fields, 2 softball fields or 2 soccer fields on one contiguous piece of field turf. There are two major sustainable aspects to the facility. This includes "Light Structure Green" lighting, which is energy-efficient and web-controlled. Also, the turf material is comprised of recycled rubber from the "Nike Grind" program, which recycles post-consumer athletic shoes and reuses the granulated rubber as building material.
