The new 81,000-square-foot Recreation and Wellness Center at the University of Houston Clear Lake campus not only provides a much-needed recreation space for the student body, but it also provides the University's Exercise & Health Science Department with dedicated space for offices and classrooms. The new facility houses key academic programs within the Clinical, Health, and Applied Sciences Department. The academic spaces include a motor control lab, exercise physiology lab, and a biomechanics lab. The facility also houses several student recreational amenities, including a fitness/exercise facility with an indoor track, multiple multi-use athletic sports courts for club sports, intramural, and personal training.
