In 2012, Purdue University’s fifty- three year old Recreational
Sports Center underwent a $98 million dollar renovation. The new and improved Cordova Recreational Sports
Center is now one of Purdue University most popular attractions. The Recreational Center was named after the eleventh
president of Purdue University, France Cordova.
The grand opening of the Purdue University took place on October 12,
2012.
The new Co- Rec is equipped with
a 55 foot roped rock climbing, a bouldering wall with more than sixty horizontal
feet of terrain. Equipment is available to
rent during staff hours. The new Purdue
Co- rec also houses a competition and a recreational pool that is available for
students to use during designated hours.
The competition pool is one of the premier aquatic facilities in the
country. The pool has eight lanes and is
fifty meters long. The pool also has a
six lane, twenty- five yard dive pool. The
competition pool is used by both Purdue’s varsity swim and dive teams and water
polo teams. The Recreational Pool is a
great place where students can go relax and have fun with friends. The pool is equipped with a vortex, spa,
three 25 yard lap lanes, and bubble bench.
Along with the pool and rock
climbing wall, the Co Rec has two indoor tracks, dozens our basketball and
volleyball courts, and lifting and workout equipment. The Co Rec is a great place for students to
go to blow off steam and get away from the hectic college life.
