A New Start

Construction on the Royce and Pam Money Student Recreation and Wellness Center continues to provide a striking alteration to the campus skyline. A crane working on placing beams onto the $21 million facility can be seen from miles away, and the expansion of the Gibson Health and Physical Education Center’s old footprint is now readily visible.
With so much activity taking place on the physical site, it only makes sense for activity to resume in earnest on this virtual home of the center. This blog will resume its weekly (and, we hope, more frequently than that) updates about the center but expand them to include not just progress on the construction, but also progress on the numerous other facets involved in opening a new facility. These include:
- Personnel changes and additions
- Curriculum adjustments
- New features
- New technology
- And many more.
We hope this blog will be a way for the building’s donors and prospective donors to see how well their money is being invested, as well as a way for those who eagerly anticipate using the facility to get something of a sneak peek as decisions are made and policies finalized heading toward the projected August 2011 opening.
