The Recreation and Wellness Center (RWC) and Wellness and Health Promotion Services (WHPS) will close effective March 14, 2020, as part of the preventative steps UCF is taking to minimize health and safety risks to our students, faculty and staff due to the spread of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).

There are no reported cases of COVID-19 at UCF, and the university continues to monitor the potential impact to our campus community. The RWC and WHPS will work closely with the university to provide updated information to students, faculty, and staff about programs, special events, services, and facilities on their respective websites at rec.ucf.edu and whps.sdes.ucf.edu.

The closures will last at least two weeks or until university emergency management officials clear the UCF community to use RWC and WHPS programs and services again. The closures include:

  • Recreation and Wellness Center
    • Recreation and Wellness Center (Main)
    • RWC @ Downtown
    • RWC @ Knights Plaza
    • RWC @ Ferrell Commons
    • William E. and Mary Jo Davis Recreation Area at Lake Claire

    • RWC Tennis Complex, Sand Volleyball Courts, and Outdoor Basketball Courts
    • RWC Park
    • Disc Course and Challenge Course
