Pratt Recreation Center

The $18.5 million Jeanette and Edmund T. Pratt, Jr. Recreation Center, which opened in 2002, is a 77,000-square-foot facility containing a modern, well-lit 3,000 seat gymnasium with three full-size basketball and volleyball courts, an elevated Mondo-X indoor jogging track, an eight-lane recreational and competitive swimming pool, weight room, fitness room, racquetball courts and locker rooms. It features a state-of-the-art Human Performance Lab as well as “smart classrooms” equipped with fiber-optic Internet access for use by the Campus’ health and physical education program.

The center is home to the LIU wrestling team, giving the Sharks one of the largest competitive wrestling arenas in the area.

The Pratt Recreation Center provides LIU students, staff and faculty with a modern facility where they can exercise, play, compete or work out.
