The UTEP recreation center is the recommended place for UTEP students to work out, especially with the busy lives that come along with being a college student. With the rec center being included in student fees, freshmen have free resources to stay fit all semester long. Located at 3450 Sun Bowl Drive, UTEP’s rec serves as a welcoming place for those looking to maintain an active lifestyle.
The rec center has seen significant improvements after a fee increase approved by the UTEP student body in 2006. The renovations were completed in 2011 and included a rock-climbing wall, new basketball courts, and a multi-story fitness area, all added onto the original facility that was built in 1996.
