NIC: Let's build a rec center

It should be time that North Idaho College starts building a recreation center for students and staff. If they included the price to use the gym in students tuition they would be inclined to use it all the time to make sure their money is being put to good use. It would also be a way to make sure the students of North Idaho College have an opportunity at a nice gym to use before, after or between classes. Other gyms get too crowded with high school students and kids running around while parents work out. This would be a fantastic way to help students stay healthy and fit given the opportunity. The $7 million cost to build a recreation center for students and staff will pay off when included in students tuition for a reasonable cost and the great outcome of having a gym available for college students. It is also a great way for students to be more social and get more involved with the college as the recreation center can hold activities that users could sign up for.
