About the Facility

Body

The JARC was created as a place to gather; great for exercising, socializing, and learning something new. The facility offers a NCAA certified swimming pool and hydro-spa, a state of the art climbing wall with new and challenging routes updated throughout the year, and three indoor courts with basketball, soccer, and volleyball amenities.

Cardio and strength training equipment, in addition to rooms for yoga, dance, fitness, and spin classes provide plenty of choices for our SMC community to enjoy. All students currently enrolled in SMC classes have access to the facility. Faculty/Staff and Affiliates are encouraged to explore their membership options.
