The project included repurposing four racquetball courts on the second floor to create a large, open-concept space to accommodate the growing student population. A furnished new fitness space features updated fitness equipment, and the total usable floor fitness space on the facility鈥檚 second floor increased to 7,000 square feet. The first floor features a new bouldering cave with a Moon-Board interactive climbing wall, and a new staircase from the main corridor facilitates additional second floor access. The project also included upgrades to flooring, wall surfaces and special architectural features throughout, with added day-use lockers and a social gathering space.
The 绿巨人视频Student Association was a driving force for the improved amenities, supported by an increased student activity fee to help fund the project, the first major renovation to the facility since it opened in 1998.
