Campus Recreation and Wellness

Mission Statement 

  • The mission of Campus Recreation and Wellness is to enhance academic success, leadership, and the collegiate experience by providing opportunities and resources to foster fun, health, and community through play and adventure.

The HPER originally opened November 27, 2000 as a 72,000 square foot recreation center located on the corner of Student Lane and Farris on the southwest corner of the UCA Campus.  In 2012 the process for an extensive expansion and renovation project began.

In addition to the three pre-existing, re-finished full-sized basketball courts, the expansion and renovation include an approximate 10,000 sq ft. weight room, an approximate 6,000 sq. ft. cardio room, and three group exercise studios including one dedicated to spinning classes.  Windows have been placed around the pre-existing Mondo X indoor track to allow exercisers to look out to the nature reserve and provides an open feel that coincides with the architectural style of the new portion of the HPER.  Also added to the HPER is the natatorium, featuring a 6 lane, 25-yard lap pool.  Other additions include lounge areas, recreational game space, three racquetball courts, and an outdoor recreation center, where the campus community can check-out kayaks, canoes, camping equipment and even get basic bicycle services and repairs done.

It is our hope that the now completed expansion and renovation, will allow campus recreation to continue to fulfill its mission and continue making the UCA campus a healthier place as individuals and as a whole.
