Self-guided tour: Notable places on campus

The Student Recreation Center (REC, D-6)
The Rec Center was recently renovated and now
houses three swimming pools (including an outdoor
pool shaped like a buffalo!), an ice arena, a turf gym,
10,000 square feet of strength and cardio space, a
climbing gym, six multipurpose wood courts and
five fitness studios with more than 100 classes
offered weekly.
7
Folsom Field (D-7) Our breathtaking football field
is where Ralphie, our live bison mascot, can be
seen charging the field at every home football game
in the fall. The student section of the stadium faces
the Flatirons, so fans can enjoy the view of the field
as well as the Rockies.
8
Farrand Field (G-7) This grass field features a
performance stage and recreational space for
students to enjoy. Some of CU Boulder’s 24
residence halls frame Farrand Field, including:

Willard Hall (WLRD G-8) to the southeast,
Farrand Hall (FRND G-8) to the east and
Baker Hall (BKER F-7) to the northwest.

10 Roser ATLAS building (Alliance for Technology,
Learning and Society) (ATLS, F-6) The ATLAS

spaces for information technology classes and
research. The building features an auditorium,
a 2,700-square-foot black box studio and a
1,000-square-foot production studio. It is here
that art, tech and creative ideas merge.
11 The Visual Arts Complex (VAC, F-5) This complex
houses the Department of Art and Art History. It
