Sports complex slated for c 95 opening
By Sara Israwi
The Battalion
Construction of Texas A&M
University’s student recreatUn
center and natatorium will contin
ue this sun .mer, and the center is
planned to open in'the fall of
1995, officials said.
Gen. Wesley Peel, vice chancel
lor for Facilities Planning and
Construction, said that as of last
month the building was 60 per
cent compl. _e.
It will be funded primarily
through a $50 student fee in the
fall and spring semesters and a
$25 fee each summer session.
Faculty and staff will also pay
a $200 fee every yea These fees
will not be added to fee slips until
the facilities open in the late sum
mer or early fall of 1995.
Dennis Corrington, director of
recreational sports, said it will
take 60 days to get equipment
moved in and begin operation
once the building is finished.
The $36 million facility will ful
fill a variety of recreational needs,
including weightlifting and ndoor
facilities for socce 1 ”, volleyball,
archery, badminton, squash and
rock climbing.
There will be a 14,000-square-
foot room with air conditioning,
eight gymnasiums and a multi
purpose room with big screen tele
visions, to be used for dances or
pay-per-view events.
Corrington said there also may
be a Pat Olsen baseball memora
bilia museum in the center.
Olsen has donated baseballs,
bats, pictures and other memora
bilia he gathered while playing in
the 1920s with players like Babe
Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
“Pat Olsen has donated every
thing to the University,” Corring
ton said. “It has all been pre
served in museum quality and
right now we are investigating the
possibility of housing it there, but
it is not ior sure.”
Corrington said the facility is
a positive improvement to the
University.
“W e think it will be the best in
the country,” he said. “It is not

the most expensive or the biggest,
but it’s up there.”
The varsity swimming and div
ing team will be the only teams in
the athletic department using the
nev. facility for competitive use.
Mel Nash, A&M head swim
ming coach, said the center’s new
natatorium will be home base for
the team. Some offices related to
those sports will move to the nata
torium as well.
The Texas A&M swimming
and diving team has been using
the same facilities since 1932. The
age of the original facility has
been the team's biggest liability,
he said.
Auburn University recently
had a natatorium built to replace
what they called “ancient facili
ties” that were 24-years-old, he
said.
The natatorium w.ll be useful
in recruiting high school athletes,
Nash said, because the University

After the diving team folded
for several years, it was reorga
nized because of the upcoming
natatorium.
The natatorium will bring in
more teams, making it possible
for competitions, Nash said.
“The new center will definite
ly help the diving team,” he said.
“The overriding feeling is that it
will bring us up w'th everyone

natatorium will be open to all
students.
The student fee allows access
to most activities in the building.
Some programs such as aerobic
classes, however, will require an
additional fee.

facilities will be torn down, Peel
said it is not related to the con
struction of the new building.
Nothing is planned to be built in
place of the buildings.
