Rowan University recently celebrated the expansion of the Chamberlain Student Center, and at RecRe, we’re excited to support their mission of creating a dynamic campus community.

Streamlined Access, Improved Experiences

Joe Lizza, Director of the Chamberlain Student Center and Campus Activities, partnered with RecRe with clear objectives: to ease the workload of busy staff and enhance student accessibility. The outcome has been impressive.

Here’s how RecRe is making an impact:

Main Entry Vestibule: Students have quick access to practical items like cordless vacuums, toolkits, bike pumps, portable chargers, and basketballs. Rowan’s team can efficiently update the inventory based on student preferences and real-time usage.

Game Room: This newly renovated area offers easy access to recreational equipment such as billiards, ping pong, foosball, shuffleboard, board games, and chargers. The self-service lockers allow student staff to spend more time engaging directly with visitors, fostering a welcoming atmosphere.
