Penn State Wilkes-Barre proudly offers its students a $3.7 million Athletic and Recreation Building (ARB). The ARB and its surrounding fields and courts offer a wide range of fitness and wellness options to our students, including specialized equipment and programs. This facility contains a large gym, a regulation basketball and volleyball court, two racquetball courts, a squash court, a weight room with weight-training and cardiovascular equipment (including bicycles, ellipticals, and treadmills), and a multi-purpose room for fitness classes and other activities. Outdoor sites for soccer, tennis, and running also are available. Several significant changes took place to the ARB facilities over the summer of 2014, including a new gym floor, audio/visual upgrades to the weight and spin rooms, and new treadmills in the weight room. See pictures of our facilities.
Please note: Due to area functions and children’s programs in our main gym, volleyball and basketball are available only when the gym is not otherwise in use.
All individuals using the ARB must sign in and show ID when entering the building or when requested to do so.
