The primary emphasis is grounded in the Jesuit ideal of cura personalis (care of the whole person). The department is committed to cultivating the whole person by providing an array of recreation opportunities in an educational, social, and supportive environment. To this end, we offer quality programs and service oriented facility operations which foster healthy lifestyles for the Loyola University Maryland community. During the fall of 2000, recreational sports opened the doors to a state of the art 115,000 square foot campus recreational facility.
