WREC Opening and Ribbon Cutting

WREC Center: Beyond All Expectations!

Since the Wildcat Recreation Center opened on Aug. 17, more than 12,000 individual students, faculty and staff have registered as members. More than 58,000 visitors have passed through the turnstiles. The average daily use of the center is 2,100 people.

Rick Scott, director of the center, reported that Shauna Quinn from CADEC estimates that her drug and alcohol abuse class is half the size it usually is for this time of year, down 25 to 30 students to 12. “Although this is anecdotal information at this point,” said Scott, “it will be interesting to establish a correlation with WREC use in the future.”
