Student Health & Recreation Center

Student Health and Recreation Center

OSU-Cascades' first comprehensive on‑campus center will support student health, wellness and recreation — all proven to strengthen student success.

Our next building

Thanks to the Oregon State Legislature, community advocates and students, we’re building a healthier campus that fuels student success.

The Student Health and Recreation Center is planned as a 40,000‑square‑foot facility dedicated to student health, wellness and recreation. It will substantially expand opportunities for physical activity, preventive care and mental health services, all resources proven to enhance student wellbeing and academic success.

The building will contain flexible indoor spaces for fitness and recreation and dedicated space for clinical health services and mental health counseling. Nearby, two all-purpose outdoor recreation fields will support active game play.

Made possible by students, for students

OSU-Cascades students played a pivotal role in advancing the Health and Recreation Center from a concept to a funded reality. In 2017 students voted — knowing many of them will have graduated before the project was built — to increase student fees in response to the need for on-campus recreation and health services and committed $20 million for the project.
