Yanitelli Center Transformation Project Website
 
The Victor R. Yanitelli, S.J. Recreational Life Center (RLC) is the home of the Peacocks men’s and women’s basketball teams, men’s and women’s swimming teams, and women’s volleyball team. The $6 million complex opened in 1975 and the white, air-supported roof is recognized from miles around. The RLC basketball court seating capacity is 1,800. The Victor R. Yanitelli, S.J. Recreational Life Center hosted its first men’s basketball game on November 29, 1975.
 
The RLC houses three gymnasia, an Olympic-sized swimming pool and diving facility, a fitness center, a free weight room, multi-purpose rooms for such activities as dance, yoga and martial arts and five indoor tennis courts and a jogging track underneath the air-supported Bubble.

The tennis nets can be taken down to convert the space inside the Bubble into a multi-purpose indoor field for athletic practices and intramural games. The gymnasia are converted into an arena for activities such as varsity basketball games and special events such as the University’s Baccalaureate Mass.

The offices for the Department of Recreation and Intramural Sports, as well as the University’s Department of Athletics, are housed in the RLC.
