The Center fosters the development of healthy lifestyles through the promotion of wellness attitudes and practices. More than a health club, the Harper Student Center focuses on the development of total well-being. The programs are designed and staffed by a team of health professionals who believe wellness is the balance of social, emotional, spiritual and physical health. The Harper Student Center was developed to provide future health professionals, faculty, and personnel of MUSC an opportunity to participate in social, recreational and educational activities to promote healthy lifestyles. Phase I offers 30,000 square feet of exercise area located in the renovated first floor of the Alumni Memorial House.
Members enjoy a variety of exercise equipment and programs.
This includes a complete Nautilus strength training circuit, selectorized weight machines by Universal and Cybex, a complete selection of free weight equipment by Universal, Cybex, and Wynmor, and two aerobic dance rooms. Phase II-A was the addition of a 3,000 sq. The aerobic room has a floor designed with a special surface to minimize impact and injury. A new auditorium equipped with a projection room, wide screen TV, and a separate PA system is available for lectures, group meetings and special programs. A new lounge affords students a place for leisure and social activities.
