Student Recreation Center expansion holds official grand opening

Apr 22 2009 - 9:57pm | By Lisa Carter

Students will no longer have to jog around construction signs or see yellow caution tape when going to the Student Recreation Center.

Construction to the expansion of the center, which began in 2007, was nearly completed in November. Wednesday marked the official grand opening and featured speakers such as Glenn Hanley, director of campus recreation, Chancellor Charles Matthews, ASG President Brett Baker and University President Denise Trauth.

Baker said he was pleased to see those in attendance who were part of planning the expansion.

“It’s great seeing everyone come out who’s been a part of this for so many years,” Baker said. “It’s something we’ve needed for a long time, and it’s great for students in general. What we’ve looked forward to is basically having everything open again and getting back to full use on our Rec Center.”

Hanley said the 49,000 square foot, $31 million project would have been impossible without the students. He said the goal was to make the new facility acceptable for them.

“Students no longer have to wait in line for six treadmills. Now we have more than 105 pieces of cardio equipment,” Hanley said.

Jennifer Rea, psychology senior, said she uses the SRC three times per week on average. Rea said she is pleased about no longer having to wait to use exercise equipment.

“When I found out they were going to build a new one, I thought, ‘Awesome! I’m not going to have to wait for a piece of equipment anymore,’” Rea said. “The biggest problem was having to come in and wait or not being able to work out when I wanted to because it was always so packed.”

Matthews said he hopes the SRC will give students the chance to obtain a healthy lifestyle.

“Higher education is not just about the transmission of knowledge. It’s also about physical fitness, virtues and teamwork,” Matthews said. “We want every Bobcat to live a long and healthy life.”

A ribbon-cutting ceremony followed the speakers’ addresses. A reception and tours were given immediately following. Students and guests were welcomed with opportunities to participate in free, group exercise classes, free entrance to the rock wall and a longest-drive contest on the golf simulator, one of the center’s most recent additions. The simulator is located in the former weight room of the original SRC.

Multipurpose rooms, pools and basketball courts are also recent additions. Baker said student possibilities for exercising in the expansion with the new establishments are endless.

“You look at our rock climbing wall, the (fact the) basketball courts that have doubled, you can do anything in this Rec Center,” Baker said.

“It’s just a great asset that we have here at the university. I think it’s amazing for students so far (and) I think it’s going to continue to be amazing for them to be able to come here.”

Baker said he has received nothing but positive feedback from students.

“I think (the feedback from students) has been unbelievable,” Baker said. “People wouldn’t go to the old Rec Center because they couldn’t get in there and actually work out. They were waiting in all the different lines and it was just a big mess in there. But you look at how smooth everything is going right now (and) I think students are very pleased. We’ve got an amazing facility. It’s probably one of the best centers in the whole nation.”

Texas State Women’s Club Volleyball

Kansas City, Missouri- the site of battle for 130 women’s collegiate
club volleyball teams competing in the 2009 National Tournament.
With 48 teams from across the country fighting for the title in the
Gold Bracket, the road to victory proved to be a challenging one.
The Texas State Women’s Club took on Minnesota, Colorado State,
Michigan, Ohio State, and James Madison University to claim their
5th place position, and best ever finish, in the tournament.
The team started play on Friday morning in the Challenge Round,
which determined whether or not they would get to compete
in the Gold Bracket. After a two game win over Minnesota, the
girls entered into pool play with Colorado State and Michigan.
The Bobcats took a win over Michigan in three games but lost to
Colorado State, which put them in a playoff for the last spot in the
bracket. A re-match and win against Colorado State allowed the
team to move onto Saturday.
Ohio State was the opposition in the first match Saturday morning.
Senior Renee Hewlett-Blanchard claimed the Bobcats were definite
underdogs going into the game. “They were huge, and they
expected to take us out quickly,” Hewlett-Blanchard said. Upset
came to the Buckeyes in a two match victory for the Texas State
girls. That win advanced the team to the quarter finals where they
fell to James Madison University in three.
Though disappointed by the loss, the team was very proud of
how well they did and believes the tournament was their best
performance in years. Kate Kregel received Honorable Mention
based on her individual performance as well. The Bobcats finished
3rd in their conference and 5th in the nation this season and hope to
take these accomplishments to build their strength for next year.

The Department of Campus Recreation invites you to attend the Grand Opening of the Student Recreation Center Expansion at the Student Recreation Center Lobby Wednesday, April 22, 2009 at 3 p.m. Tours until 5 p.m. To view the PDF version of the invitation, click here.
