Located in Hilltop Center, the Bowling and Billiard Center (BBC) is the social recreation hub for students, faculty, and staff. The BBC offers a variety of leisure time recreational opportunities. Bowling, pocket billiards, foosball, air hockey, and table tennis are popular indoor activities; however, many others utilize the wide assortment of equipment available for use on outdoor facilities, which include basketball, volleyball, and tennis courts, and football, soccer, and softball fields.

The BBC is a popular hangout on weekends as University Recreation sponsors a variety of special events. "The Dugout," a social room in the BBC, is available for your group to reserve, free of charge.
