About the Business

Recreational Athletics has held a place in UC's history since the 1890's. The first interclass basketball championship was held in 1897 and the first field day occurred with great success in the same year. In 1909, the first organized bowling league was formed and continued for several years. In 1912, Schmidlapp Hall opened giving the University a gymnasium for student use. By 1936, intramural sports at UC had grown to 20 teams; by 1982, interest in recreational intramural sports had grown to 82 teams.

The department of Campus Recreation operated facilities and programs in three buildings (Armory Field House, Laurence Hall, and the Shoemaker Center) that provided free weight areas, cardiovascular equipment, multi-purpose rooms, an indoor track, and three basketball courts. These facilities were used until the new Campus Recreation Center opened in February 2006 for student, faculty/staff, and community members.

Established in 2006.
