The Independence Blue Cross Student Recreation Center, nicknamed the IBC, shut down for the summer to undergo a complete renovation and upgrade.

The revamp includes brand new cardio and strength-training equipment; a locker room renovation complete with new fixtures, showers and lockers; the addition of two gender-inclusive shower rooms; and reorganization of open areas to add additional equipment.

Students, faculty and staff can work out in the new space beginning at the start of the fall semester. Here s a sneak peek at the facility s upgrades.
