Join the Celebration: The SFC is turning 20!
Move your way through March and win!
Join us this March as we celebrate 20 years of the Sport & Fitness Center (SFC) in its current form. The facility first opened in 1981 and underwent an incredible transformation that debuted in March 2005. Since its renovation and expansion, the SFC has been the heart of fitness, wellness, and UIC community. Located in the middle of the Illinois Medical District and adjacent to the Student Center West, the SFC provides students, faculty, staff, and community members with a welcoming space to stay active, connect with others, and prioritize wellness.
We invite you to move, engage, and win this March, with a month-long series of events and activities. There are countless ways to get involved and honor this milestone, including our 20 Years Strong Bingo challenge, DeStress Fest, or by donating to the Recreation and Wellbeing Foundation Fund.
