 The Florida Gymnasium was gradually adapted to other uses during the 1980s.The court was used primarily as a general student recreation center and occasional assembly hall while a series of renovations repurposed some of the surrounding space for use by the College of Health and Human Performance.In the mid-1990s, the much larger Southwest Recreation Center opened across campus, and a major renovation of the Florida Gym removed the last of the original seating sections and added many modern classrooms, laboratories, offices, and meeting rooms.
