A. Michael Perry, a member of the Marshall University Board of Governors, had a good reason for voting Monday to approve construction of the new Recreation Center at Marshall.
The university, he said, needs to broaden its appeal and attract more students from out of state. Marshall needs up-to-date residential halls and high-quality recreation offerings to do that, he said.
Construction on new residence halls will begin in June, and the recreation center should be under construction in August. The new freshman residence halls will have two-person suites with individual bedrooms and a shared bathroom for each suite, along with the latest technology, including wireless Internet. They will provide a total of 785 beds, a study room, a theater room and a video conference room.
