HPER Complex

The HPER Complex (short for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation) is a multipurpose facility on the campus of the University of Arkansas.

Built in 1984, it is designed to house the entire Health Science, Kinesiology, Recreation, and Dance programs.

The department of University Recreation is housed in the HPER and helps to run the daily operation of the facility.

Level 2 is home to 50-meter, 533,000 gallon natatorium (unique in its shallowest end being in the middle), a multiple-activity gymnasium with a seating capacity of 400 and a regulation-sized college basketball court (which is part-time home to the Arkansas Fantastics of the American Basketball Association), the Donna Auxum Fitness & Weight Training Center, and two dance studios (a practice one, and a performance one with a seating capacity of 200).

The top level holds a jogging track, with the outside lane 1⁄8 mi (0.20 km) in length.
