Student Rec Center Ground Breaking
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- For a group of young Indiana State University alumni, a dream was realized Thursday (July 19) with the groundbreaking of the future home of the University’s Student Recreation Center.
The 109,420-square-foot facility will house a three-court gymnasium; a recreation aquatics facility, with separate pools for lap swimming and instructional/leisure activities; fitness center, outfitted with cardio and strength training equipment; climbing wall; elevated jogging/running track; multi-purpose activity studios suitable for aerobics, martial arts and fitness classes; a multi-activity court designed for indoor soccer, roller hockey and other activities; offices for Recreational Sports, a healthy snack bar, an outdoor equipment center; and locker facilities and equipment rooms.
ISU President Lloyd W. Benjamin III lauded the efforts of current and former Student Government Association Presidents Megan McManana, Hobart Scales and A.J. Patton along with three former student trustees, Doug Huntsinger, Jessica Robertson and Grant Scharton, for championing the project from the planning stages to reality.
