The Anteater Recreation Center (ARC) is an indoor gym facility that is part of campus recreation at the University of California, Irvine (UCI); the anteater is the mascot of the UC Irvine athletics team (see University of California, Irvine#Athletics for the mascot's origin and history). It is open to all UCI students, faculty and staff members, alumni, and other university affiliates, including spouses.〔(UCI ARC Memberships )〕 The facility was designed by Langdon Wilson Architecture.〔Barbara Giasone, ("Students to get new rec center" ), ''Orange County Register'', July 11, 2006.〕〔("University of California -- Irvine, Anteater Recreation Center.
