For the first time, West campus has indoor recreational facilities, including a 30-foot-long bouldering wall.

The new building replaces the Noyes Center. In addition to a lounge, games and a convenience store, it houses a regulation-size basketball court with lines for volleyball and badminton, a full-scale fitness center, and a multi-purpose room for recreational activities or performances. The outdoor basketball court has amphitheater seating for spectating and special events.

Students from residential houses, fraternities, sororities, co-ops, program houses and off-campus apartments can now work out together in the gym, hang out together in the lounge, play games and attend other events. Noyes Community Recreation Center is open to the entire Cornell community.
