Lakefront Athletics and Recreation Complex
Lakefront Athletics and Recreation Complex is a sports and recreation complex on the main campus of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. It contains both facilities for general student body fitness and recreation, as well as facilities dedicated to Northwestern Wildcats sports programs (the university's teams in the Big Ten Conference of NCAA Division I). Wildcats facilities include competition and practice venues, training and team meeting facilities, offices, locker rooms, dinning facilities, and an academic support services center.
The complex traces its history to the opening of the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion in 1987 and the opening of an adjacent sports field complex in 1997. In the 2010s, the existing facilities were renovated and new facilities added to the complex, which was collectively dubbed the "Lakefront Athletics and Recreation Complex". The project elevated the complex into a main hub for all student athletics program.
