Rider Students Enjoy New Student Recreation Center
Rider University celebrated the grand opening of its 55,000-square-foot Student Recreation Center in the fall 2005.
Completion of the Student Recreation Center marked the second opening of a major new building on the Lawrenceville campus in the fall 2005. At the beginning of the academic year, the new residence hall and three-story additions to Ziegler and Hill residence halls on the north side of the mall opened with much fanfare. The new buildings architecturally transform the look of the mall and represent the visible signs of Rider’ renewal.
“This is all about our students,” said Rider President Mordechai Rozanski. “The SRC is a fabulous facility that supports recreation, fitness and wellness as an integral part of our students’ experience. The SRC, the new residence hall, and the improvements we have made in other areas over the last decade on both campuses underscore our commitment to being a student-centered university.”
The SRC amenities are impressive.
The 3,600-square-foot fitness center has a full circuit of 16 Selectorized Life Fitness machines that work the whole body and 21 Life Fitness cardiovascular machines, 11 of which come equipped with LCD televisions and basic cable TV.
The center also has a full rack-and-a-half of dumbbells and free weights, as well as four plasma, 34-inch televisions for viewing.
The group exercise room, equipped with its own sound system, hosts all facets of group exercises ranging from aerobics to cardio kickboxing. In all, students can choose from 20 exercise classes per week with certified instructors. Personalized training also is available.
There are three, multi-purpose playing courts for basketball, volleyball and tennis and other intramural activities.
The second floor features a three-lane, 165-meter jogging track and a 1,100-square-foot game room with pool tables, ping pong tables, foosball and its own sound system.
A well-equipped meeting room on the second floor can seat from 20-40 people and has PowerPoint and speaker phone capabilities, as well as several data ports.
The second floor also houses offices for intramurals, conference service and event planning.
The 9,000-square-foot atrium connecting the SRC and Alumni Gymnasium is equally impressive. Its exterior glass fronting and brick work, pitched roofs and cupola echo the residence hall architecture across the mall. The atrium also offers many amenities, including a snack and beverage area, bistro and cocktail tables and chairs. Club chairs and couches in another section provide a gathering place for students and members of the Rider community near a 65-inch plasma television. Additional meeting and game rooms can be reached via the mezzanine.
