UB Assesses Feasibility of Recreation Center
By JENNA LENHARDT AND PAUL EPPOLITO | Sep. 25, 2002UB students who feel that Alumni Arena's workout facility is overcrowded or outdated may be given the option to workout in a state-of-the-art-facility on North Campus.Earlier this month, representatives from a consultation company and an architecture firm came to UB to conduct focus groups composed of students and faculty members to discuss the feasibility of building an on-campus recreation center that would not be affiliated with the Department of Athletics.The idea to build a recreation center at UB has been on the table for about three or four years because there is not enough space in Alumni Arena for athletic teams to coexist with students who just want to work out, said Andrea Constantino, director of student unions and activities.
