An Olympic-sized swimming pool, dance studio, gymnastics studio, martial arts room, weight room, Nautilus center, and track are located in and around the 296,000 square foot facility. The 12,000 seat main arena is home to eight UF intercollegiate athletic teams. The facility also hosts major concerts, trade shows, expos, banquets, and family shows. Students, faculty, staff, their spouses, and their children are invited to use the center's facilities during recreational hours. Children are not permitted to use the weight rooms.
Recreational hours are subject to change due to the scheduling of ticketed events in the main arena.
The O Connell Center is governed by a board of students and faculty that oversees the operations of the complex.
