Find Your Y

In 2013, the University of Washington Tacoma and the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties entered an agreement to create a new student recreation center. Two years later, the University YMCA Student Center was born. The building (known on campus as the UWY) is a fully operational YMCA with recreation and fitness spaces, an NCAA regulation basketball court, cardio and weights equipment, an indoor track, personal training, and locker rooms. However, it was built under the agreement that it would serve UW Tacoma students and their families first. UW Tacoma students can activate Y memberships included in their tuition and fees package--once they do, they're eligible to use any Y, anywhere in the country. 

And the UWY's not just for getting your sweat on. The building is home to the UW Tacoma Center for Student Involvement, a game room, study spaces, and an event room with beautiful views of Mt. Rainier that is prioritized for free rental by Registered Student Organizations. When you visit the UWY, you have access to free color printing, computer stations, student government offices, video games, board games, pool, air hockey, table tennis, exercise and sports equipment, video conferencing... and the list goes on. You'll need to visit for yourself to see it all!
