Lander University students only need to take a short walk to enjoy a “resort-like” experience away from the rigors of academic life. The new facility, which replaced the Sproles Recreation Center built in 1952, is designed to enhance the student experience at the university and includes an outdoor pool and a covered pavilion.
Among the pool and pavilion features:
- Students will soon be able to order smoothies from Freshens, a campus restaurant, and have them delivered to the pool.
- The landscaping features native, tropical-looking plants.
- The pool is ADA compliant and features a fully functional, portable lift that can be used for anyone who needs it.
- Artificial turf provides additional areas for lounging around the pool.
- A large screen will be added to allow students to watch movies while swimming.
