The academic year has ended and summer is upon us.\u00a0 For our final From the Archives post until fall, we present a campus photo that fully embodies summer.\u00a0 Do you remember where on campus you could find this scene?\u00a0 What\u2019s there now?<\/p>\n

This outdoor swimming pool was part of the Recreational Gymnasium, which was completed in 1957 and later renamed the Recreational Sports Center. The pool’s site west of the center now is occupied by the Morgan J. Burke Boilermaker Aquatic Center, which was completed in 2001 and adjoins the Co-Rec. The Co-Rec underwent a major renovation and expansion approved in 2008, and it was rededicated in 2012 as the France A. C\u00f3rdova Recreational Sports Center.<\/p>\n

The pool photograph was taken on August 27, 1980, just as these students had arrived on campus for the academic year. Beyond the pool at right is the Purdue fire station, and across Third Street are Meredith and Shreve Residence Halls. Both are visible in the background of the full photo.<\/p>\n
