OBU Tennis Courts
Originally built in 1972 as a recreational tennis center, the OBU Tennis Courts have grown to an eight-court complex protected by windscreens and equipped with lights. 

Recently resurfaced, the blue and green courts with their crisp white lines are home to the OBU men's and women's tennis programs.

The program proudly hosted the USTA-ITA Regionals from 2008-12.

Recreation and Wellness Center (RAWC)
OBU proudly opened the state-of-the-art Recreation and Wellness Center (RAWC) in 2007 for the entire campus community.  The center features an indoor jogging track, cardio and weight training machines, three full-size basketball courts, racquetball courts, locker rooms facilities, as well as a two-story climbing wall.

While the RAWC is for entire campus use, OBU athletic teams often use the three courts as an overflow indoor facility for practice, camps and tournaments. The Wellness Center also has a weight training and aerobic exercise area in which athletes are able to train on their own.

The RAWC is also home to the national champion OBU swimming and diving teams. The Bison have quickly become a national powerhouse on their way to claiming seven team national titles to date. 

The indoor pool offers a first-class training facility for these nationally-recognized programs. View RAWC website
