Wellness and Recreation
Inspiring a Thriving Wolfpack Community
NC State Wellness and Recreation empowers the Wolfpack community to live well and thrive. We support students in building balance and resilience through six key elements of wellness: purpose, financial, physical, emotional, social and community.
The Wellness and Recreation Center is a go-to hub for fitness, fun and connection. From two Olympic-sized pools and a rock climbing wall to an indoor track, sauna and weight training rooms, there’s something for everyone. There are plenty of courts to sharpen athletic skills, plus an equipment checkout service to gear up for outdoor adventures.
