About time!

I'm very happy this is getting done, I just wish they found a way to let the regular student population benefit from it and the football facility.

I think they should build a new Student Rec Facility in conjunction with the new basketball facility. The current student gym is a joke.

Who else banged a girl on the field at Memorial? Oh the things you will do after a grain party up at Hilltop.

Nice.

Can't wait for the shovels to get in the ground.

Most if not all intramurals are in there, which is a big benefit.

More movement on that than has been publicly announced. Can't out my source but they already have the location for it.

I would be more impressed by a shovel in the ground.

Students actually play intramural flag football in the indoor practice field at the football facility. And the intramural b-ball championships are held at Gampel. I wouldn't be surprised if they allow games to be played in the new practice facility the way they do with the football facility.

Hopefully they build it next to C-lot. It would actually make that parking lot useful.

Buildings and Grounds Committee minutes indicates that the new rec complex will require a minimum of five acres. The athletic master plan propose putting the rec center near the Greek Village. I wonder what they will do with the old field house/rec center when the new one is completed?

lol that'd be entirely too far away from everything on campus

Anyone know which way the hoops facility will be oriented? Has to be like the sign right?
