The 155,000 square feet (14,400 m2) structure includes a large swimming pool and spa, tennis courts, an indoor running track, a new gym with multiple courts, classroom kitchen, triple the cardio and weight space, an indoor climbing wall and boulder. The SRC Arena seats up to 3,168 people, and is host to the UC Riverside Highlanders athletic teams.
