Celebrating its 125th anniversary, the University of Arizona has grown from desert scrub land to one of the nation’s top research institutions. In 1885, Tucson had hoped to get the state capital moved here from Prescott. Instead, the Arizona Legislature let Prescott keep the capital, gave Phoenix an insane asylum and Tempe a normal school, and awarded Tucson a budget of $25,000 to start a university.

In other words, it doesn’t smell leaves some ‘in awe,’ with its airy 30,000-square- like a gym. The addition features a foot weight room and a multipurpose gym 30,000-square-foot, two-story workout/weight room with rows of cutting-edge exercise machines – spread out to give students room as they watch cars whizzing by Ari- zona Stadium. There’s also a glass- walled multiuse sports court for basketball and indoor soccer, and a pair of sand volleyball courts and a rock-climbing/bouldering wall in the courtyard. “A lot of the students, when they fi rst walk in, can’t grasp it enough to work out that fi rst day,” says John Hamp, a weight room monitor and recent UA student. “This gym will compete with any in Arizona and maybe in the Southwest.” The 55,000-square-foot addition opened in January. The number of entrants has increased nearly 30 percent, but usually you can work out without waiting. Students pay a fee of $25 per semester to help fund the expansion. Juliette Moore, retiring campus recreation director, encourages alumni and parents of current students and university staff to try the new facility, between Sixth and Seventh streets and Highland and Cherry avenues. “A lot of parents are in awe,” Moore relates. “They’ll say, ‘We didn’t have this when we were coming to school.” Indeed. UA students used a The courtyard features a bouldering wall. Tim Glass photos cramped room in the basement of
