The Department of Campus Recreation opened the South Campus Recreation Center on August 26, 2019. The South Campus Recreation Center is located at the former Whirlpool property. The 98,000 square foot facility includes several innovative elements including a functional training zone. The centerpiece of the facility is north Mississippi’s only indoor climbing wall. There is abundant fitness space, three fitness studios, two basketball courts, a multi-activity court, walking/jogging track, a classroom demonstration kitchen, and a convenience store. Services for wellness education, outdoor programming, and personal training also have dedicated spaces. Two fields for intramural sports, sport clubs, and informal recreation are located adjacent to the facility. A sidewalk links the building to the South Campus Rail Trail, providing indoor and outdoor recreational options for our community.
