The Multipurpose Recreation Center (MRC) will provide indoor space for a multitude of activities including varsity athletics practices, intramural and club activities as well as select campus functions.
The pre-engineered metal building structure was designed by CannonDesign and is being built by Suffolk Construction. Slated to open at the end of 2025, the facility will include a three-lane, 200-meter track, four tennis courts, batting cages and a 40-foot high climbing wall.
The building will be highly sustainable, currently tracking to be LEED Gold certified. It has been designed to accommodate a full rooftop solar photovoltaic array and offers electric vehicle charging stations. Mechanical systems are not only highly energy efficient, but compatible for connection with the campus’ future decarbonization project.
