The quality of it depends on what youre used to, the gym machines for the most part always work and there are enough that you dont need to wait. The weight room is a bit small but REC closes at 10 so if you go later or between classes you should be fine. If you just need a place to work out it does its job but just remember it is a college gym so you get what you pay for.

Great facility for FIRST Lego League Maryland State Championship. Junior Expo was very well planned and smoothly run. Public competition in the afternoon was also smoothly run and entertaining to watch. Thanks, UMBC, for hosting!

Absolute garbage. This place is the poorest excuse for a gym that I have ever been to. The weight room is ridiculously small and theres barely any equipment to use. Aside from that, the entire place is less than aesthetically pleasing and feels nothing like a gym. Youd think with all the tuition people pay, the school would care more about providing the students with a more engaging experience. In short, this place needs to be destroyed... Or at least painted a different color.

Sons high school graduation was held here. Seats were a bit hard but at least it was air conditioned for the big crowd they had. Ive been to a graduation with no air before and was very thankful this wasnt a repeat.

UMBC is a great school (two my children graduated from here) and the RAC has been the site of so many great events. Looking for a good college in MD? Check out UMBC.

I believe some of the building is going to start to be remodeled this summer because they just open the new event center which seats about 2,800 people has much better concession stands and can hold larger venues and events

Dont really know how to rate a place as diverse as this. The RAC includes an event center with seating for thousands for basketball games, graduations, concerts and the like. It has weight rooms, convertible courts that can be used for basketball, flag football, tennis, volleyball, etc. And it also has a large Fitness Studio, locker rooms, two pools, one being an outdoor 50m Olympic swimming pool. There are also various offices and meeting rooms. For many years the RAC was the main Athletic Complex at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) one of the top mid-sized, research universities in the USA. UMBC is generally not as well-known as other big-name universities. This is probably due to its young age. It was founded in 1966. It however, is building a list achievements that rival any University. There are far too many to list here. But, the Surgeon General is currently a UMBC grad, and UMBC is the only University to have a 16 seeded basketball team defeat a number 1 team in the NCAA tournament.

Review №26

Not very accommodating for our swim meet. poor parking options. I had to park .5 miles away and pay for the joy of doing it.Then one of the event staff was rude to me when they had a basketball game in the evening and I was trying to retrieve my property that was in the gym ALL MORNING AND AFTERNOON that day.Pool has always been slow for our daughter. Viewing area is undesirable.

A decent facility for exercise, but disappointing far as campus athletic centers go. There are never enough cardio machines. There are no racquetball courts. And the varsity sports often take over the indoor track because they dont have proper training facilities.

The gym will be rented out to local youth groups during the summer/winter so even though the cost of tuition includes the RAC you are often not allowed to use it. Also parking is bad
