Olds-Robb Recreation-Intramural Complex

The Olds-Robb Recreation-Intramural Complex is a sports facility at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti with multiple training areas under one roof. It features two weight rooms, an indoor track, and the Jones Natatorium swimming venue.

The center opened in 1982 and was named after Lloyd Olds, a 1916 graduate who played a key role in developing the university's physical education department. This naming honors his lasting impact on athletic programs at the institution.

The complex serves as a gathering place where students from Eastern Michigan University come together for sports leagues and fitness programs. These spaces foster community bonds among young athletes pursuing active lifestyles.

The facility welcomes students with a valid ID, while faculty members can use it with an annual fee. Operating hours on weekdays provide plenty of flexibility for visitors to work around their schedules.

The complex houses the Jones Natatorium, featuring a 50-meter swimming pool that ranks among the largest in the state. Depths ranging from 3 to 17 feet allow for diverse training and instructional uses.
