Conclusion

We decided that the Rec Center should be renovated.

Some of the ideas, like four more softball fields and other items are a little bit unreasonable. We don't really have the space for that. But, adding more cardio equipment as well as making the Rec Center look nicer, and make proper repairs is really necessary.

There is obviously other uses for the university money, but I think if they are going to continue to build new items, like the C4C, they should extend that to building like the Rec to make sure everything is more modern and up to date.

This project is still in very early stages, so they should keep getting student input as well as updating everyone are what they're planning, and what stages the project is in.
