The Rutgers-Camden Athletic and Fitness Center offers 75,000 square feet of space, all renovated from the original 1973 Gymnasium and its 1989 Auxiliary addition. Opening Sept. 1, the new space boasts top-of-the line cardio and strength-training equipment, a resistance pool, team locker rooms, and a recreation program space for yoga, spinning, and Pilates.

Rutgers–Camden is an NCAA Division III school that offers 16 sports programs, including women’s lacrosse, which will begin its intercollegiate season this spring. In the past decade, Rutgers–Camden Athletics has celebrated an NCAA National Championship, an ECAC Metro title, an NJAC Championship, and 14 All-American athletes.
