There are 3 major benefits to building a bouldering gym on our campus.
1) To provide our students and the community, beginner to advanced, with a place to practice a recreational sport that is becoming more and more popular.
2) To increase the value of our university by bringing something new to our students. This could also become a huge selling point for the university when dealing with prospective students.
3) Increasing the value of the Walton Lifetime Health Complex. This would provide an experience for members that is not available currently in our area. It would also have revenue potential.
The benefits discussed are only a margin of the potentially far reaching effects of bringing this to campus.
