programs, services and facilities to a diverse
Texas A&M community. We encourage the
lifelong pursuit of active, healthy lifestyles
and ENHANCE STUDENT DEVELOPMENT BY
PROVIDING LEADERSHIP AND EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES.
STUDENT EMPLOYEES The Department of Recreational Sports employs approximately 850 students annually to operate our programs, facilities and services and paid them a total of $2,323,306 + benefits in FY14.
Rec Sports is the largest employer of students on the Texas A&M campus and, therefore, provides many students with the financial aid to fund their education.
PEAP BUILDING The new Physical Education Activity Program Building for the Department of Health & Kinesiology will serve as an ancillary facility for the Department of Recreational Sports
OPENED IN: FALL 2013
115,000 SQ. FOOT FACILITY WILL PROVIDE REC SPORTS: • Gym Space for 6 Volleyball or 4 Basketball Courts • Gymnastics Room for Gymnastics Sport Club • Mat Room • Sport conditioning space for boot camp • One weight room for the Powerlifting Club • Meeting space for Student organizations
Overall, even with the upcoming Student Recreation Center expansion, we will still loose some activity and meeting room space.
• Providing a much better facility for intramurals and sport clubs
