INTERIORS OUTFITTING STUDENT REC CENTERS If that information is enticing, Massey has a piece of advice for administrators contemplating building or renovating their rec centers. "In rec center design, there is a rule of thumb for number of students vs. number of square feet," he explains. "That allows you to plan fairly well. However, it's difficult to anticipate how the increase in programming space affects the increase in use, which requires a staffi ng increase, which requires an increase in support space." But it does need to be anticipated, and so you'll want to discuss this with your architect. Student rec centers — if they're what students want (and they do), and if they come with value added to the institution (and they do), then flex your biceps and start building.
