Sunset Canyon Recreation Center Seismic Improvement Project

Project Announcement

Recreation is pleased to announce that the Sunset Canyon Recreation Center seismic improvement project will begin on December 16, 2024. Though we do expect there to be impacts over the next two years of the project, the facility, including both swimming pools, will largely remain open during construction. The finished product will replace the original Sunset Canyon Recreation Center building, which has been closed for four years because of seismic deficiencies. Features of the new building will include three multipurpose rooms, a teaching kitchen, and a rooftop deck, all of which will support the UCLA community’s wellbeing, student group meetings and events, academic and cocurricular programs, as well as youth camps and competitive sport.

During this first phase of construction, beginning on the 16th, the main building will be demolished. The site will be prepared for the construction of the new building, with the first step being the installation of new fencing and the contractor’s modular offices. During this installation there may be impacts to parking, the entry kiosk area, and driveway, and, as will be the case for much if not all this construction period, there will be additional noise.

When we anticipate impacts outside of the standard construction activity, we will communicate those to patrons in advance by email, Fusion app notifications, and/or the UCLA Recreation website.

Best Regards,

Erinn McMahan

Executive Director, UCLA Recreation
