The State University of New York at Cortland has opened a $56 million Student Life Center that dramatically expands fitness and recreation opportunities for students, faculty and staff.

With almost 150,000 square feet of space, the building consolidates in one location an array of programs and activities that had been scattered throughout the campus in what were often shared or out-of-date facilities.

Since the facility opened in mid-February, as many as 3,000 people a day have been taking advantage of the expanded offerings, university officials say.

The Student Life Center was designed by Hastings+Chivetta and H2L2 Architects/Planners.
