Mort Harris Recreation & Fitness Center
Located in the center of campus, the 78,000-square-foot facility opened in 2000 and underwent a three million dollar renovation in 2007 as a consequence of water damage. Since that time, a number of significant improvements have been accomplished. These include a climbing wall, new cardiovascular equipment including Woodway treadmills, and satellite-connected workout machines. In 2011, the facility was re-painted and in 2012 a merchandise shop was added. A chipping green, basketball courts, group fitness rooms, and women’s only workout spaces ensures variety and managed options.
Yoga, personal trainers, and adventure programming are just a few items that are cost effective but utilize skilled practitioners. Locker rooms and showers are also available. MHRFC hours are Monday-Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Intramurals and club sports are coordinated through MHRFC as well as an association with the University’s Wellness Warrior fitness initiative that offers a reduced membership to faculty and staff. Auxiliary programming is also coordinated at the medical school.
