Building REC J/K will house a studio and gym of the students sports centre (USC). To make room for USC, part of University Library will move to the east side of the basement of REC J/K. This new facility will also allow students, staff and other USC members to exercise on the Roeterseiland campus.
USC wants a studio and gym with the ability to train both individually and in groups. Think cardio, strength, core, HIIT, pilates and yoga. There will also be changing rooms, showers and lockers.
