The Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) hosts many recreational activities for UC Davis students, faculty and staff. The building itself has four indoor basketball courts (convertible to volleyball and badminton), eight four-wall courts, a multi-use activity center (MAC), an indoor track, large fitness/weight areas and an indoor climbing wall. In addition, the complex includes group exercise, dance and martial arts studios, student lounges with computer terminals and wireless access points, a large ballroom, and small conferencing center. Food service is provided in the lobby area along with a pro shop. The building is separated into three distinct areas: the controlled area, the conferencing/union area and The Pavilion. All fitness related activities comprise the controlled area that is open to all students with a valid UC Davis identification card. Faculty and staff members can purchase membership to the ARC for an annual or monthly fee. The conferencing/union area is open-use and is accessible through the main entrance to ARC or through a smaller corridor on the Northeast side of the building that leads into the conferencing area.

The UC Davis Pavilion (formally Recreation Hall) hosts athletic competitions, concerts, trade shows, conferences and miscellaneous spectator events each year. The Pavilion houses approximately 149,000 square feet of space and encompasses the home court of the UC Davis Aggies volleyball team, gymnastics team, and men’s and women’s basketball teams. The Pavilion hours and access vary depending upon the event being hosted. More information regarding ARC can be found at the ARC Web site, calling the number listed or by stopping by the information desk located in the lobby area.

The UC Davis Intramural Sports and Sport Club Program offers over 30 different Intramural Sports activities ranging from the traditional team sports like football, basketball and soccer to individual or duel sports such as racquetball, table tennis and golf. Additionally, we offer some non-traditional activities like inner tube water polo, floor hockey and Quickball (our version of Wiffleball). All UC Davis students are eligible to participate in intramural activities. The majority of our activities are free; however there are a few sports that require an entry fee for participation. Each club is formed, developed, directed and controlled by its members within University guidelines. Stop by the office or see our Web site for a complete list of clubs.
