Although it is not much of a secret for students at Purdue, the CoRec is something all students should know about and use. The massive building towers over the corner of Third Street and Jischke Drive. The best part is that using the facility is technically free for all students because it is included in the tuition costs.
The CoRec offers a large variety of different activities for students. First, the building features a complete set of different weight lifting machines and free weights along with treadmills, stationary bike, and other exercise machines scattered throughout the building. There is also a rock climbing wall for students, and it is even offered as a class. Several smaller rooms are located in the building, and they offer activities such as dance classes. It also has several basketball courts and volleyball courts where students can play pickup games during the day. Lastly, the building has a room known as the TRec; it is a large room with a turf floor that is primarily used for indoor soccer and flag football.
The CoRec also has a massive aquatic center. The aquatic center contains eight 50 yard pool lanes along with a diving pool, both of which are used for completion. It also houses a massive recreational pool with equipment for playing basketball and volleyball. The pool is surrounded by an array of TVs that visitors can watch. There is also a very large hot tub located near the recreational pool. Additionally, Purdue offers swimming lessons for children in the surrounding area. It also has CPR, lifeguard, and water safety courses that allow students to become certified in the respective fields. Although massive in size, the aquatic center is just a small part of what the CoRec offers.
Additionally, students can join the many intramural sports the CoRec offers. Purdue has a large variety of sports, ranging from common sports like softball, to sports most people have never heard of, like inner tube water polo. Do not worry, however, if you are not the athletic type; most intramural sports offered have multiple leagues, some of which are competitive while others are more for just having fun playing the games.
The CoRec offers a large enough variety of activities that all students at Purdue should find something that interests them.
