Large numbers of students flocked to the opening of the nearly complete University Recreation Center Monday after delays pushed back previous completion dates.

Steve Kintigh, director of campus recreation, estimated that there were 350 people already through the door 40 minutes after its noon opening Monday.

The first 150 people through the door received free T-shirts, and many also received free mugs, he said.

There are still minor projects in the recreation center to be completed for which exact dates are unknown, which are the reasons for the ongoing construction, Kintigh said.
