A fantastic addition in just the right place. All students will have access. Just another example (along with the new Research building) of what we could have been years ago had Susan Herbst been at the helm. To say we squandered years of growth, especially given our 1999 and 2004 rising national image via sports success. Sometimes you have to simply admit that competence is not guaranteed with a job title. Our prior Presidents and AD are exhibits 1, 2 and 3.
When I was a student, the student rec center was a deflated volleyball and we had to share it. And we liked it.
Damn these kids today and their luxuries...
This is the right move and they're putting it in the right place. Should be amazing.
If I remember correctly, when I was there the volleyball courts and gymnastics areas were separated from the basketball court by a curtain/net during Husky BB games. So, we watched the likes of Tony Hansen and Joey Whelton while standing between that curtain and the bleachers/court.When I was a student, the student rec center was a deflated volleyball and we had to share it.

States elsewhere, two interesting notes
First, that I saw is that the pool will be 50 meters. That's long enough for competitions. If it will also have a diving well, I wonder if UConn will move Varsity swimming to the rec center, which would allow Wolff to be torn down and Gampel to be expanded, maybe.
No chance.
Beyond the pool, you need stands, locker rooms, etc., etc. Plus they need the flex pool there with the sliding bulkhead and they also make use of the Brundage pool and the training facilities.
You just can't move that program to the student center.
And we played with that deflated volleyball in a mud pit.

They let you have mud?
Lucky bastards.
