A Grand Opening
If the initial student reaction to Abilene Christian University’s newest building could be summed up in two words, they would be: “Cool!” and “Wow!”
Beginning with Chapel and culminating with a massive community lunch that spread over the campus mall, the grand opening Friday of the Royce and Pam Money Student Recreation and Wellness Center ended years of waiting for students, faculty and staff and began a new era focused on whole wellness for the student body.
The 116,000-square-foot renovation and expansion of the Gibson Health and P.E. Center features a bouldering wall, eighth-mile jogging track, leisure pool featuring a lazy river, wet classroom, two large exercise classrooms, a large dividable classroom with demonstration kitchen, new basketball court, cardio floor and suite of offices for the Medical and Counseling Care Center.
