Response from ASI's REC Center Team regarding why Athletics are not really included in the funding:
--------------
Thank you for taking the time to email your feedback about Rec Center 2012. We apologize for the delay in response. We experienced a glitch with our web-based feedback form, but we are happy to have it fixed and to respond to you now.

The proposed Rec Center will create some displacement for Athletics during construction. ASI is having ongoing conversations with Athletics, KHP, Dance and others about the impact. ASI is also working with the architects to improve portions of Kellogg Gym. For example, the classes, team rooms, locker rooms, offices and labs that are displaced because of the proposed partial demolition of Darlene May Gym will be relocated to areas of Kellogg Gym that will be renovated and to a temporary basketball bubble that will be built to accommodate these needs.

It has not been decided if the Rec Center will host events such as Men’s/Women’s Basketball and Volleyball, but it is unlikely. The Rec Center is intended to be for all-student use and the Athletic facilities, like Kellogg Gym, are intended to be for NCAA use.

Part of the 2004 South Campus study that showed CPP’s recreation facilities are in need of improvement and it also showed that our Athletic facilities are in need of improvement, which has its own master plan. The difference is the funding source. ASI is a student funded organization while Athletics is a state funded organization. If the proposed Rec Center is approved by the students, it will not solve all of the facility needs in the South Campus area, but it will provide improved recreation facilities and opportunities for all student use.

Please let us know if you have further questions about the Rec Center. We want you and other CPP students to be fully educated before voting on March 5 & 6.

Thanks again,

Team 2012
