University of Iowa Aquatic Center

The University of Iowa Aquatic Center, also known as the East Campus Fitness and Wellness Center, will open in the fall of 2009. The $69.7 million complex will be home to the school's men's and women's swimming and diving teams. The center will replace the Iowa Fieldhouse, which was built in 1927, as the competition venue for the Hawkeye collegiate teams. In addition, the complex will house a variety of fitness areas and equipment, which will be available to the students and the public. Amenities will include a running track, indoor leisure pool, rock climbing wall, and basketball gyms. The center will be located on Madison and Burlington streets in Iowa City, Iowa.
