Wildcat Recreation Center Grand Opening

Posted in

It's time to welcome the newest member of the Chico State family. The Wildcat Recreation Center is officially open for business as of August 17, just in time for the new school year. We've been hearing about it for years, waiting not so patiently for the beginning of construction, and finally to the grand opening held August 27. But the WREC is definitely worth the wait. The sheer size of it is impressive enough, but combined with the 3 multi-purpose courts, indoor suspended running track, and the rock climbing wall, designed by a Chico State alumni, it is a sight to see.
