2. ARC

The Activities and Recreation Center, more commonly known as the ARC to students on campus, is a very popular building on campus. The building was first started in 1971 and was used for intramural sports on campus. This building was known as IMPE and in 2005 it shut down. Since this building closed another one was needed and that is why we have the new and beautiful ARC on campus today. The new building is located on 201 E. Peabody Drive in Champaign. This is located very close to a large section of dorms that is referred to as the six pack.
This facility is one of the biggest of its kind in the nation and the campus is very proud of it. The new name is also a better and more updates reflection of what it is currently used for. The campus was looking for a way to better the campus and the ARC was a huge step in completing that goal.
