by Jim Bakken
The UAB Campus Recreation Center is one of the jewels of the Southside campus. The impressive structure measures about 150,000 square feet and cost about $25 million to build in 2005, according to Sean Ries, director of campus recreation. And the center offers just about anything a student or UAB staff member could want in a health facility.
