With the gift from the late Mr. Sanderson and substantial state support, construction began in July 1996. The facility also includes a food service area and HandKey readers at the main entrance for easy access for members. The offices of the Department of Recreational Sports also are located in the center. It adds to the quality of the life of students. Before this, they only had a tin barn for recreation that was too small and not very inviting.
Leisure is such a big part of people's lives today.
Students need the time to get away from their studies, to let off steam, to let off stress, and to learn leadership skills and sportsmanship.
