History
University President Carl V. Patton appointed a task force in the spring of 1994 to investigate the feasibility of building a recreation center at Georgia State University. The faculty, student, and staff members of the task force spent the spring and summer soliciting information from other universities about the impact, magnitude, costs, and contents of such centers. The group focused on urban university comparisons. They collected floor plans, photos, statistics and fee information. The combination of their hard work and dedication played a significant role in planning this facility and establishing its policies. Student employees serve as facility managers, lifeguards and desk attendants. A full-time professional staff supervises the Student Recreation Center's daily activities and administers a variety of non-credit instructional programs.
