Opened in 1929, Recreation Building, as it is formally called, was first expanded in 1953 and a major addition came in 2006. Five Penn State teams have won national championships on the Rec Hall floor: boxing (1929 and 1932), wrestling (1953) and men's gymnastics (1960 and 2007). It was once the home to THON and commencement and has played host to numerous concerts and high-profile speakers, including U.S. presidents and presidential candidates and in 1965 Martin Luther King, Jr.
