While components of recreation have been on the Hilltop for over 100 years, the department became official in 2008 when the first professional staff member was hired.  From 2008 to present day, there have been numerous facility renovations, programs developed and overall growth.  In the early days, Campus Recreation hired roughly 6-10 student employees and present day consistently maintains 60-70 students.  In 2013, the UFCU Alumni Gym was renovated to include a recreational basketball court, much-needed storage space, staff offices and two boutique studios known as the Spin Studio and Functional Training Studio.  In 2020, the Recreation and Athletic Center (RAC) expansion and renovation opened as major component in the growth and fulfillment of the LiveWellSEU initiative.  This initiative was developed for and by community members with the purpose of promoting holistic well-being for the entire campus.  The expansion and renovation added nearly 8,000 sq/ft of weight room space, a dedicated fitness studio with incredible views of Main Building and downtown Austin, a multi-use classroom, staff and student offices, a gender neutral restroom and shower, and a wellness lounge.
