The interior has received a complete renovation with a brand-new floor plan and modern finishes, amenities, and features, including:

• (52) cardio machines
• (57) strength training racks/platforms/machines
• FreeMotion™ strength circuit
• Synergy 360™ BlueSky 3 apparatus in a functional training courtyard
• two-lane indoor track
• West Gym: basketball, volleyball, badminton

• (2) group fitness class studios
• personal training assessment room

The RWC is a project of the ASUN-led "YES 2 Better Rec Centers" referendum passed by UNL students in October 2010, which appropriated student fees to improve the quality of the University’s campus recreation facilities. Additional projects of the referendum include renovations to the City Rec Center’s strength and cardio areas (opened 2011 and 2014) and construction of the Outdoor Adventures Center (opened 2014).
