Central Washington University Board of Trustees November 3, 2017
ACTION ITEM – Recreation Expansion Proposal and Pro Forma Approval
The Recreation Expansion project will build a track facility in the southeast corner of North Wildcat Way and 18th Avenue, replacing the crumbling, nearly 25-year-old track now located in Tomlinson Stadium. The expansion will include lighting, perimeter fencing, and turf inside the track and will provide a much- needed expansion of recreation services outside of the over-crowded SURC. Recreation is working closely with Athletics to ensure the track facility meets specifications for NCAA competition, and to coordinate design and construction services with the Tomlinson Stadium Upgrade. The project, unanimously recommended by the Student Recreation Advisory Board, will be funded with $4 million of Recreation Fee reserves. Non-CWU organizations and CWU units outside the Recreation Department (e.g. varsity athletics, academic departments) will pay to use the facility. Ongoing operational costs related to the recreation expansion will be incorporated into the broader Recreation Center budget which is supported by a student fee.
We recommend the following motion:
The Board of Trustees of Central Washington University hereby approves the use of $4 million in Recreation Fee reserves for the design and construction of the Recreation Expansion project.
