The Cougar statue
As you approach the building you'll see a 1,500 pound limestone Cougar statue. In honor of the university's mascot, the statue was dedicated as part of MU's 2004 homecoming festivities. Also right by Anderson is an outdoor tennis complex. This six-court facility, completed in 2004, is home to the men's and women's varsity tennis programs.

Anderson lobby overlooks the newly resurfaced gym floor
Upon entering the building, you'll find a huge lobby that overlooks both the gym floor, synthetic track (both resurfaced in the summer of 2007) and pool. Directly behind the lobby is a dance/aerobics studio with a spectacular view. It is frequently used for a variety of activities.

NCAA competitive pool with six lanes
To the right of the gym floor is the six-lane, NCAA competitive pool, with an observation deck. All facilities are open from early morning until late evening for student recreational use. Also on the upper level of the building, you can find the Athletic Department offices.

Anderson therapy labs
To the left of the lobby are four therapy labs. PT students spend many hours here with classmates learning and honing their skills. The labs are fully equipped with all the tools of the trade.

Weight and fitness center
The lower level has both athletic and student locker rooms, a state-of-the-art sports injury rehabilitation center, three racquetball courts and a 24,000 sq. ft. weight and fitness center. Anderson is also home to the 12-room, fully staffed and equipped Health Center. At the center you can find trained nurses and nurse practitioners, as well as a physician who keeps weekly office hours right in the center. There is also a self-care room that provides educational materials.
