The RAC will be closed to users for the holiday break beginning on December 20, 2019. Construction will be underway when the campus reopens on January 2, 2020. 

During this eighteen month construction project, the front lobby will remain the primary access point for the building and the elevator will be operational. The fieldhouse portion of the building, which includes the track and the basketball arena, will be closed until the end of February 2021. At least two basketball courts, a weight room, a group exercise room, and locker rooms will remain open throughout the renovation; please check signs in and around the building for directions.

A pool will also remain open throughout the renovation, though access routes will change periodically. For initial construction activities (December 20, 2019 - March 31, 2020), there will be no interior connection to the pool; instead the pool lobby doors on the Sondheim side of the building will serve as the pool access point. 

The Facilities Management project page will be updated regularly and will include construction information on phases, timelines, accessible routes, and operations. You can also join the Facilities Management myUmbc group to receive updates. We anticipate completion of this project in July 2021. 

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to improve recreation facilities for the UMBC community.

A huge thank you to the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) for collecting over 3,500 non-perishable food items for Retriever Essentials (retrieveressentials.umbc.edu) at UMBC.

What happens on our UMBC campus when you put out a call at 8 p.m. the night before that you need volunteers to help move all of this food across campus? Take at look at the photos to see how our phenomenal UMBC community of Retrievers comes together at a moments notice to help others in need!!

Thank you to everyone who donated food, to SAAC, UMBC athletes, faculty and staff and to all of our volunteers. Together we moved thousands of pounds of food across campus in 1 hour and 15 minutes. Go Retrievers!!!

A huge thank you to the History Department and Chair Dr. Amy Froide for lending Retriever Essentials space for our Food Pantry for the Fall semester!!

We're finally ready to move into our new space in Sherman, but we need help tomorrow at 10 a.m. at the Events Center to move approximately 3,500 items, which are already boxed.  We will have 2 vehicles.

Assuming we don't have an ice storm overnight, is anyone available to volunteer for 30-60 minutes?

To volunteer, please email fariha1@umbc.edu

Barrio will direct UMBC’s 17-sport NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics program, all campus recreational programs (intramurals, club sports, recreational activities), and the physical education program. Barrio comes to UMBC after serving as Director of Athletics at Central Connecticut State University and in other leadership positions at the University of Nevada, Pepperdine University, University of Southern California, and the America East Conference. At the University of Nevada, he played a major role during a run of two Mountain West Conference men's basketball championships, a Sweet Sixteen appearance, and the opening of a $3-million state-of-the-art men's basketball facility.

Barrio is an ideal match for UMBC because of his proven commitment to the success of student athletes. Throughout his career, he has implemented academic programs and student-athlete admissions policies that led to significant student-athlete GPA increases.

"It was clear to me throughout my conversations with everyone involved in the process that UMBC has a bold and clear vision for how athletics can move the needle on the university's strategic goals,” Barrio said. “I am thrilled to be trusted to help execute that vision over the coming years. The tremendous coaches and student-athletes already in place at UMBC will make this an exciting transition for me.”

Originally from Old Lyme, Connecticut, Barrio earned a bachelor's degree in communications from Boston College in 1999, where he was a team manager for the men's basketball team and an intern in the sports information office. Following internships at Central Connecticut and Ohio State University, Barrio went on to earn his Juris Doctorate from the University of California-Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco. Barrio and his wife, Katie, have three children: Casey, Marcus, and Fiona.

“I am delighted to welcome Brian Barrio to UMBC,” President Hrabowski has shared. “His values and experience are impressive. He will be an outstanding ambassador for UMBC Athletics, and a leader who will make an immediate contribution to the campus.”

I would like to thank Jack Suess, Vice President, Division of Information Technology, for chairing the search and the committee which included: 

Lisa Akchin, Associate Vice President, Engagement & Assistant to the President
Matthew Baker, Professor, Geography and Environmental Systems
Dale Bittinger, Assistant Vice Provost, Admissions and Orientation
Damian Doyle, Assistant Vice President, Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions
Kim Leisey, Associate Vice President, Student Affairs
Kimberly Moffitt, Associate Professor and Director, Language, Literacy, and Culture
Tyler Moore, Student Athlete
Ryan Odom, Head Coach, Men’s Basketball
Lynne Schaefer, Vice President, Administration & Finance
Amy Slade, Head Coach, Women’s Lacrosse
Valerie Thomas, Associate Vice President, Human Resources
Gary Wohlstetter, Senior Associate Athletic Director

The campus community will have an opportunity to meet and learn more about Brian during a welcome event and press conference on campus early next week. I am excited to work with him to continue the strong momentum of Retriever Athletics.
