Comparing the SRWC to Fullerton's Recently Added Rec Center

The CSU system is undergoing what some may refer to as a boom in construction projects. In fact, just last year, California State University, Fullerton completed work on a new Student Recreation Center similar to that which is currently being built on CSULB's campus.

According to Fullerton's original audit report, "The Student Recreation Center is a two-story, 95,000 gross square foot facility, containing a three-court basketball gymnasium, with features for volleyball, badminton and various other sports, and an elevated running track. The facility also includes a two-story lobby with a climbing wall, two racquetball courts,three multipurpose rooms for group exercise activities, a spinning room, cardio room and theater, weight room, locker rooms with shower facilities, administrative offices, and an outdoor lap/recreation pool and lounging deck."

Cal State Long Beach provides a briefer description, but runs along the same lines when it states, "The Student Recreation & Wellness Center (SRWC) will be a 125,000 square feet facility with fitness programs, aerobic classes, rock climbing walls and 8 basketball, volleyball and badminton courts total."

With 30,000 more square feet, CSULB seemingly holds the upper hand in area consumption. However, since Fullerton's Rec Center has already opened its doors, unique features have been unveiled, like a "Spin Room" designed for spinning bike classes.

Comparing blueprints, favoritism can be deduced on a personal preference basis:
