Gym facility part of University of California, Irvine
The Anteater Recreation Center (ARC) is an 89,000-square-foot (8,300 m2) indoor gym facility that is part of campus recreation at the University of California, Irvine (UCI); the anteater is the mascot of the UC Irvine athletics team (see University of California, Irvine#Athletics for the mascot's origin and history). It is open to all UCI students, faculty and staff members, alumni, and other university affiliates, including spouses.[1]
The facility was designed by Langdon Wilson Architecture.[2][3] It opened in January 2000, replacing older, cramped recreational facilities at the school's older gym, Crawford Hall. Built at a cost of $26 million, it was funded by a student referendum approved in May 1996, when UCI students voted to pay an additional $88 per quarter to fund the center and other athletic and recreational facilities.[4][5] The positive reception for the new center led students at other University of California campuses (such as UCLA) to push for similar improvements in their recreational facilities.[6]
The facility has been the setting for several Guinness world record events, including a 4,448-participant dodgeball game in 2011[7] and a 3,875-combatant water pistol fight in 2013.[8]
