The Virgil Henson Activities Center houses the Department of Sports and Exercise Science and student services including medical and wellness, as well as serve as a recreational haven. Originally built in 1970, the Activities Center accommodates an indoor swimming pool, an eight-lane bowling alley, weight room, racquetball/handball courts, game room, TV lounges and a couple of all-purpose rooms, including one large enough to attract eight pick-up teams to its four regulation-size basketball courts. The Activities Center is also home to the Child Development Center, the University's child-care center, and the main office of WT Athletics.
The VHAC was renovated in 2011 with an exciting overhaul of the main west entrance, including first-floor office renovations as well as new aesthetics to the center’s lobby and main staircase. Additionally, a nearly 40-foot-tall rock-climbing wall now greets visitors coming in to the VHAC.
