The construction of University Recreation Center was voted on by the students of EWU during a special election in January 2005. In order to fund the project students agreed to pay a fee; however, the fee would only start after the construction of the center was completed.

The URC opened in spring of 2008 and assumed full operational status in summer of the same year.
