Johnson Family Practice Center
Opening with the campus in 1954, the Johnson Family Practice Center, known for decades as the Physical Education gym, was renovated in 2011. The Johnson Family Practice Center is now a dedicated training facility and serves as the practice facility for UCR's men's and women's basketball teams, as well as the Highlanders' volleyball team.
After 57 years of wear and tear, the “old” gym became a first-class practice facility. The renovation included a brand new ceiling, floor, lighting, a sound system, acoustics and scoreboards.
In 2014, the final touches were put on the project, as newly-created championship banners, representing the storied individual and team accomplishments of all three programs, were hoisted to the rafters.
