Students pay an additional $175 per semester in fees for the facility, and staff who want to join can pay $200 a semester.

The center includes weights, cardio machines, a pool and hot tub, fitness rooms for classes, an eighth-mile track, three basketball courts, multi-activity court and climbing wall.
