While incredible expertise exists locally, e.g. by present and past members of the Athletic Board, no input from any of these experts were allowed. No effort was made to determine what the needs of the University community were with regards to an Athletic Complex.

A new juice bar is deemed more important than warmup facilities. A meeting room for the teams is considered out of the question.

Thus, the University is going from a situation where workouts can now only be done in prime time in ancient facilities to a situation where workouts will not be allowed in prime time anywhere.
