Although the Department of Sports and Exercise Science and a number of student service operations (medical and wellness services) are housed in the Activities Center, the facility is, for the most part, 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 Kids Kollege, the University's child-care center 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.
