ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´

Here at Campus Recreation, we care about bringing balance, opportunity, and positivity to students, which is why our motto is Find Your Fit! Belonging, connection and community is why the new Student Wellness & Recreation Center is so important to us, and we are thrilled that you are joining us on this journey!

With final approval from CSU Board of Trustees in September 2025, construction began in Fall 2025, and is scheduled to be completed in Fall 2027.

ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ students advocated for increased wellness, basic needs and recreational spaces and services to support the needs and growth of the entire campus community since 2016. Since 2019, working groups of students and staff have been tasked to identify paths to achieve this goal. 

When surveyed in the fall of 2023, 91% of students indicated that a new facility should be a high priority for ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´, with 53% indicating a Very High priority and an additional 38% indicating a High priority. When asked about the impact a new facility could have on the students and university community, over 90% of students surveyed said it would make a significant or moderate impact on attracting new students, improving students’ quality of life, reducing stress, and overall enhancing the campus community.

On October 21 – 23, 2024, all students had the opportunity to vote in a campus-wide process called a referendum, which is the California State University System’s process for the adjustment of a Category II campus-based student fee.

As part of the referendum process, a team of students were charged with conducting a series of focus groups, tabling around campus, visiting classes, hosting informational sessions, and generating content for social media. The referendum process was intended to be open and transparent, allowing students to make a fact-based, informed decision regarding the Student Wellness & Recreation Center and the student fee increase required to fund the project.
