JCJ Architecture, a forward-thinking and nationally ranked planning, architecture, and interior design firm, is pleased to announce that The Student Recreation Center at the University of Connecticut (UCONN) has been recognized as an Outstanding Facility of Merit in the 2021 NIRSA Awards.
In 2015, UCONN selected the team of JCJ Architecture and Moody Nolan to undertake design for a new Student Recreation Center. In support of its institutional mission to embrace diversity and cultivate leadership, integrity, and engaged citizenship, the new Rec Center has transformed the institution’s ability to offer comprehensive programs and services that foster inclusion, personal growth, and wellness for all members of the campus community. Occupying a site at the epicenter of the 105-acre Storrs campus, this new 191,000 square foot facility replaces the existing 25,000 square foot Rec Center and opened in August 2019.
