Fitness and Recreation Center
The Boston University Fitness and Recreation Center is an athletic facility at Boston University. Built in 2004–2005 to replace the aging and inadequate Case Gym, the FitRec was built on the site of a National Guard Armory, to which there is a nod in the form of an informative plaque, found just west of the building.
The $97 million building opened in April 2005 as part of Boston University's John Hancock Student Village. It includes an weight and cardio room, a 1/7 mile indoor jogging track, a climbing wall, two swimming pools, a ProShop, various gyms, racketball and squash courts, and an oft-cited lazy river.
