SRC Arena

The SRC Arena opened as part of the Student Recreation Center in January 1994, providing a state-of-the-art facility for students to build their physical fitness as well as a home for the Highlanders' men's and women's basketball and women's volleyball teams.

The Arena also hosted events such as Midnight Madness, the Chancellor's Convocation for New Students, graduations and concerts.

In the summer of 2003, a new public address system and sound enhancing tiles were installed and during the 2010-11 academic year, the Highlanders added a video board and courtside panel tables. These improvements enhanced the entertainment experience for fans and expanded the sponsorship opportunities for our corporate partners. In the summer of 2016, the floor was refurbished for the first time since the SRC's opening, and the walls were painted to match UC Riverside's updated color scheme.

The entire 80,000-square-foot building was planned by students and funded through student fees. It is home to an extensive intramural program open to all students and it includes four racquetball/wallball courts and one squash court, a 6,000-square foot weight training facility and a 3,000 square foot area dedicated to cardio-fitness machines. It also has full locker rooms and three multipurpose rooms.
