Recreation Building and Pool

Recreation Building and Pool

Building Committee Chair: Keith Jenkins
Building Project Coordinator: Gary House

PROJECT COST - $6.7 Million funded by Sport Fee Funds on Hand, Recreation Sports and Sport Fee Bond Proceeds

Increased student enrollment and high participation has resulted in the need for the expansion of the existing facility. This project would be a new facility, located adjacent and west of the Health & Kinesiology Building.

The preliminary ideas that are being discussed with the architects are that we would like the facility to be very visual: lots of glass, a high energy place where you could see all the action and challenges, possibly a rock climbing wall close to the entrance. Overall, a very exciting and inviting place. Other features include an enlarged weight room, and combination indoor/outdoor swimming pool.

We hope the final design will be completed by November 2003 and the facility completed by May 2005.
