“The Student Recreation Center at Cal State Fullerton is an important addition to the growing strength of the green building movement,” says President, CEO and founding Chairman of the USGBC Rick Fedrizzi.
The recreation center also boasts a number of amenities for students: a 22,000-square-foot multicourt gymnasium; a 15,000-square-foot cardio-weight room that's one of the largest on a West Coast campus and has special equipment for use by disabled students; and a 38-foot-by-28-foot rock wall. More than 100 pieces of equipment are offered at the center, as well as a big-screen multimedia cardio studio — the first ever on a Cal State campus, according to CSU Fullerton.
The building design was also honored with the Best Practices Award for Overall Sustainable Design during the 2007 University of California/California State University Energy Efficiency Partnership Program.
Though the Student Recreation Center is the first to achieve a Gold LEED certification, a number of other buildings on the campus have been designed to meet the equivalent of the LEED ratings. Among them are the Fullerton Arboretum Visitor Center (Silver LEED equivalent), Steven G. Mihaylo Hall (Silver LEED equivalent) and Student Housing, which is currently in its third phase and groundbreaking is planned this spring (Gold LEED planned).
