The Rec Center

Here is a little background about the upcoming Rec Center. When interviewing Scott Charmack, the Associate Vice President of Physical Planning and Facilities Management, he brought out a large sketch of the future Rec Center. It will be a 125,000 square foot center that is estimated to be finished in the year 2010.

In January, the Board of Trustees will be presented with the sketch of the new center, which they will then vote on. The center is going to be an equipped "Wellness Center" that is going to be accessible to all students, unlike the gym on campus right now.

Charmack informed me that the cardio room will be overlooking the campus and will be furnished with large screen televisions as well individual televisions. There will be multiple basketball courts, racquetball courts, a climbing wall, and that is only to name some of what will be going into the center.

For a fun insight, here is an article from the Union Weekly about the construction of the Rec Center: http://lbunion.com/blog/343
