Davis said the idea for the climbing wall was student-initiated. If the climbing wall is built in Gym 1 on the second floor, the gym could still be used for volleyball and other recreational sports when the climbing wall is not in use. Another major renovation is the reconstruction and repair of the intramural fields. You could really hurt yourself. The intramural fields' original layers of topsoil have eroded away, Davis said.
Rainwater sits on the field instead of flowing to the sides.
The committee also wants to add more intramural sports. The committee would look at other schools in the area to see what intramural sports are new and popular. HPER officials said 54 percent of UA students participate in intramural sports and 80 percent of UA students use the HPER Building. This percentage is the highest of any SEC school, according to a 1999-2000 study. The same study showed that UA students pay the lowest fee for intramural sports and have the smallest facilities.
