GSU Gets Funding Approval for Health-Wellness Facility
|
Posted By: Hija Chang on June 25, 2014 Grambling State University students will once again have a campus facility where they can work out, attend exercise sessions and swim in a building of their own. Grambling State President Frank G. Pogue announced that the institution has received final, official approval to renovate a 33,279-square-foot building constructed in 1993 and a natatorium. The existing intramural building continues to be used with limitations because it has not had significant renovations since it was built. The natatorium, however, is unusable with a dry swimming pool, broken windows throughout the facility and what Pogue describes as “a condition that makes a ‘horrible’ sound kind.” “I found a lot of good things at Grambling State University when I first got here in 2009, but the natatorium was not one of them,” said Pogue. “The place has been an eyesore for years, and students complained about it all the time, and with good reason. “It has taken a lot of work on the parts of a lot of people to get to this point, but getting all the i’s dotted and t’s crossed and making sure that every single thing was in place financially was what we needed to do to make sure that we could announce something that will truly happen. We can say that this will happen.” More: http://www.myarklamiss.com/story/d/story/g... If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
