Three Weeks Left: Construction Update

Things are chaotic inside the Royce and Pam Money Student Recreation and Wellness Center as crews scramble to finish the facility before the Aug. 27 donor ceremony and Sept. 2 grand opening.

Nevertheless, progress is occurring, as evidenced by the delivery and installation of TechnoGym cardio and weight equipment, the filling of the Aquatic Center’s two pools (for testing only) and the installation of flooring and ceiling tiles all over the facility. Here is a quick photographic tour of the building as it stands this week:

The weight and cardio equipment, specially ordered by ACU from the Italian company TechnoGym, has arrived and is in the process of being installed.

Over the past week, crews have filled both pools to test for leaks. Today it was the lap pool’s turn.

Crews are in the process of painting lines in Scruggs Gymnasium. One court is nearly complete, missing only the ACU logo in the center, while the other still sports the blue tape indicating where the lines eventually will go.

Crews have nearly finished installing tiles in the angular suspended ceiling panels above the jogging track.

The lobby was frenetic with activity, especially with most of it roped off for buffing the terrazzo floor.

A view from one of the facility’s second-floor administrative offices shows a view of the Cecil Eager Tennis Pavilion, the progress made on the outdoor basketball court and, in the background, the newly paved parking lot and beyond it the Hunter Welcome Center.
