The Mashouf Wellness Center is a place students come to stay healthy, from taking yoga classes to scrambling up the signature climbing wall. Behind the scenes, the building is designed to keep the environment healthier, too.

A significant addition to the SF State campus, the Mashouf Wellness Center is a student activity center close to the academic core and student housing. The 118,700 GSF building and recreation field is located at the corner of Font and Lake Merced Boulevards.

The Mashouf Wellness Center building houses a two-court gym, multi-activity court (MAC) gym, elevated jogging track, weight and fitness space, natatorium with lap and recreation pools, climbing wall, racquetball courts, multi-purpose/group fitness studios, locker rooms, storage, and support space. The building is funded through a student fee.
