Through work by social historian Kelly Foster, muf found out how much of the Rec’s historical significance had gone undocumented. As part of the project, this history will be documented and put on public display. Proposals include a Wall of Fame of sportspeople who trained at the Rec, and a plaque on the Rec landing to commemorate key events, such as Nelson Mandela’s visit in 1996.

The Rec is seen as a place for everyone, and the proposals seek to extend that ideal across the whole quarter. This will be done by improving public access to the building and the lines of sight through it, as well as creating a more welcoming public realm.
