Fitness and Recreation Center

The Boston University Fitness and Recreation Center (or FitRec) is an athletic facility at Boston University. Built in 2004-2005 to replace the aging and inadequate Case Gym, the FitRec was built on the site of a National Guard Armory, to which there is a nod in the form of an informative plaque, found just west of the building.
