This week, nearly 75 percent of the voting student body voted in favor of a new recreation center to be built on campus. This initiative is one of President Alexander's pet projects that his office has worked tirelessly to see passed by the student body.
The rec center will include eight basketball, volleyball and badminton courts, an indoor jogging track, rock climbing wall, juice bar and lounge, multiple racquetball courts, an outdoor recreational swimming pool and seven multi-purpose dance/group fitness rooms.
It will cost students $110 per semester and $83 during the summer. The total cost of the construction is $65 million, and the center will be constructed in Lot 11. The parking in Lot 11 will be impacted temporarily, but another parking structure will be built to provide more parking spaces, according to the Student Recreation and Wellness Center Web site. The center is scheduled to open in the fall of 2010.
