The new recreation and wellness center at UCF’s Knights Plaza has yet to open but, KnightNews.com Anne Shirley Lewis and Alex Perez got an inside look at the new facility.
The facility is meant to appeal to students who dislike going to the large, often over-crowded main center as well as students interested in strength and cardio equipment as well as mind/body based classes like Yoga.
“One of the core reasons to build this also was to try to have a much less intimidating and much more inviting space as opposed to the big rec center that somebody comes to that may be intimidating that doesn’t feel good about working out or doesn’t want to work out in front of a lot of other folks…” Jim Wilkening said, Director of the UCF Recreation and Wellness Center.
Hours for the facility will be:
Monday through Thursday: 10 a.m. to 1 a.m.
Friday and Saturday: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Sunday: Closed
While no official open date has been announced, Wilkening expects the new center to open sometime in early February.
