Wearing work boots and a hard hat, retired Professor Stewart Fyfe (Political Studies), Arts카지노 게임 컬렉션49, looks around approvingly as he tours the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Centre construction site. 카지노 게임 컬렉션This is a remarkable, massive, modern building,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s going to be the finest student centre in North America when it카지노 게임 컬렉션s done.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Writer Kirsteen MacLeod, Journal sports editor Andrew Bucholtz, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션09 (centre), and Professor Stewart Fyfe, Arts카지노 게임 컬렉션49, on their recent tour of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Centre construction site.
Over the past 60 years, Fyfe has watched the evolution of campus social life and athletics at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. He카지노 게임 컬렉션s now predicting that the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Centre 카지노 게임 컬렉션 a sprawling three-storey, 45,000-square-metre multi-purpose complex that카지노 게임 컬렉션s due to open this fall 카지노 게임 컬렉션 will be as vital to student life as the Students카지노 게임 컬렉션 Memorial Union was in his student days and the Physical Education Centre (PEC) and the John Deutsch 카지노게임사이트 Centre (JDUC) have been for the last four decades.
It카지노 게임 컬렉션s going to be the finest student centre in North America.
Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s students, he notes, have always gathered for social and athletics activities in surroundings that reflect their times. In that sense, the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Centre reflects the needs of the 21,000+ students, as well as faculty, staff, alumni, and members of the Kingston community who will use the new facility.
While the scale of the building is unprecedented, some things remain constant, Fyfe notes. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The traditions of strong student involvement, and of student fees contributing to building facilities, both go back a long way.카지노 게임 컬렉션
As the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Centre tour winds its way through the new building, Fyfe카지노 게임 컬렉션s thoughts turn to his own student days. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Campus life was very different back then,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he recalls. 카지노 게임 컬렉션There was a dance at Grant Hall every Saturday night. There was no liquor legally available anywhere on campus. You knew most of your classmates and profs well, and Kingston was a much smaller city.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The main campus gathering spot was the men-only Students카지노 게임 컬렉션 Memorial Union at the corner of Union Street and 카지노게임사이트 Avenue. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s had 2,300 students, two-thirds of them veterans,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Fyfe recalls. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We gathered at the Union to study, play cards, rest, or eat in the cafeteria. It was a very informal place.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Women socialized at Ban Righ Hall residence in those days. For athletics, both sexes used the 카지노 게임 컬렉션New Gym,카지노 게임 컬렉션 which had opened in 1931 and later became part of the PEC.
Fyfe has observed how student life facilities grew apace with the 카지노게임사이트 for several decades. In the 1970s, for example, the Students카지노 게임 컬렉션 Union became part of the larger JDUC, Macintosh-Corry Hall was built with classrooms, cafeteria, and study halls sharing the space, and the PEC opened. For decades since then, Fyfe says, changes haven카지노 게임 컬렉션t kept up with growth. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Centre is long overdue. It카지노 게임 컬렉션s a natural next step.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Andrew Bucholtz, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션09, the sports editor of The Journal, agrees with Fyfe카지노 게임 컬렉션s assessment. Surveying the shell of the new gymnasium that카지노 게임 컬렉션s rising on the north side of the complex, he nods approvingly. 카지노 게임 컬렉션This is an exciting time for those interested in Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s sports,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says.
As a student journalist, Bucholtz applauds the building of the new gym. 카지노 게임 컬렉션When I카지노 게임 컬렉션m covering events at the PEC, I have to sit in the stands with my laptop on my knees. The Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Centre has media boxes and built-in Internet access.카지노 게임 컬렉션
He notes that Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s outgrew the PEC years ago. The new gym, with its state-of-the-art facilities for varsity and intramural teams, and for recreational users, will be will be twice the size of the Bartlett gym and will be flooded with natural light during the day. What카지노 게임 컬렉션s more, it will be visible from various parts of the complex.
카지노 게임 컬렉션On the varsity side, improved facilities will help teams to recruit top athletes and draw more spectators. Both will be a boon for Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s as a whole,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Bucholtz. 카지노 게임 컬렉션And better workout facilities and casual recreation spaces will come in handy for many stressed students. So will the new club space.카지노 게임 컬렉션
That카지노 게임 컬렉션s not all. Compared to the existing PEC, the new Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Centre also will have three times the cardio, fitness, and weights space, a pool that카지노 게임 컬렉션s double the size of the current one, three gymnasiums, eight squash courts, three large cardio spaces, four dance studios, and two rooms for wrestling and martial arts clubs.
What카지노 게임 컬렉션s more, the complex will feature bigger, brighter spaces for students to come together non-athletically with a fireplace lounge and a Common Ground coffee shop that카지노 게임 컬렉션s twice the size of the one that카지노 게임 컬렉션s now located in the JDUC.
Although Bucholtz will graduate this spring, before the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Centre opens, he says he카지노 게임 컬렉션s pleased to have supported the new social and athletics facility. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I카지노 게임 컬렉션m happy that I카지노 게임 컬렉션ve been able to contribute to the building though my student fees, even if I won카지노 게임 컬렉션t be around to use the facilities. They카지노 게임 컬렉션re much needed, and they카지노 게임 컬렉션ll enhance the quality of campus life for years to come.카지노 게임 컬렉션
