This week if you've happened to walk by the old Rodney Fitness Center that was inside the Rodney Dining Hall, you will have noticed alot of activity inside this room in preparation of a whole new re-design of the space. The former Fitness Area depicted in this photo after the exercise machines were removed, was closed down this fall but that doesn't mean the space is going to remain empty. Students in West Campus were asked by Residence Life to submit their ideas for re-use of the space and after review of all the ideas, it was decided that a multi-purpose entertainment and lounging area would become the new focal point in West Campus serving the residents of Rodney and Dickinson. In addition to new carpeting and ensuring wireless internet availability throughout the room through a newly installed access point, the new space will also feature a ceiling projector with a pull down wide screen for TV viewing or internet web surfing; two addition smaller flat screen TVs mounted on two of the walls at either end of the room; loveseats and sofas for lounging as well as stackable chairs to accomodate addtional seating for viewing special events; and freshly painted wall areas for displaying student artwork. A grand opening is scheduled for March 15, 2010.
