Rec Center Update

Students have voted for the SWRC, and plans are well underway for construction. As for now the plan is to create a team of people to design and build the SWRC. They will have to be approved by the CSU Board of Trustees, but once the team is created they will make drawings and schematics. The design should take 14 to 15 months to be finalized said Scott Charmack, vice president of Building and Facilities Management.

The plans still need to be approved,said Charmack, but he doesn't think that there will be any issues with the CSU Board of Trustees.

The entire construction is planned to begin summer of 2009 and finish in about 15 to 16 months, said Charmack. A preliminary design was made years ago but it will be recreated and redesigned to meet student’s needs and desires.

Because it is a non state-funded project, the SWRC still needs to be approved by the fee committee. After approval the chancellor’s office will need to approve the financial plan. It is planned to be presented to the board for approval in May, and if they don’t get to it then, it will wait until July, said Charmack.
