The Marcellus Hartley Dodge Physical Fitness Center is the Morningside campus's primary recreational fitness facility. Located underground in the northern part of campus, the facility was originally built in response to the failure to construct the Morningside Park Gymnasium in the 1960's. It was recently renovated.
Many CC and SEAS students go here for the first time to complete their required phys ed classes.
