UNH Opens New Recreation Center

The University of New Haven has finally opened the new David A. Beckerman Recreation Center on Monday, the New Haven Register reports.

The $15.5 million center features state-of-the-art fitness equipment and a multi-purpose gymnasium. The gym has courts for rollerblading, roller hockey, volleyball, basketball, and indoor soccer. Other features include locker rooms, racquetball courts, lounges, and a juice bar. A noticeable architectural feature is the floor to ceiling glass wall that is visible from the road.

This is just the first part of a massive plan in place to upgrade the entire campus. The projected cost once everything is completed is about $90 million. The next part of the redevelopment is a 120,000 square foot, 400 bed student housing complex. Ground will be broken in May.
