ABOUT THE PROJECT
The new Recreation and Wellness Center project will provide approximately 360,000 sqft of recreational spaces for Auburn students and faculty/staff to use in their pursuit of a healthier lifestyle. The proximity of the new facility creates a direct link to the new Student Village Housing and the existing Intramural Fields. This location also provides a convenient relationship to the Martin Aquatics Center and existing tennis courts.

- 8 Regulation Size Basketball Courts
- Racquetball Courts
- Indoor Soccer Court

The project is currently slated for a Fall 2009 start date and will be completed and open academic year 2011 -2012. Among the many challenges facing the development of the new building will be working with and around the existing site topography and surrounding structures. Another key consideration will be the ability to provide a facility that corresponds with the overall image and character of the Auburn campus.
