'I think the rock climbing wall looks cool and I would totally try it'Natale added. A 26-foot climbing wall and a 12-foot bouldering wall are featured in the building. The wall has climbing from face climbs to steep overhangs. It accommodates climberso all levels. 'I wish it was bigger though and it eelslikeyou'reinaglassbowl.'saidHqyon Shin, afreshman. The wall is located in the atrium of the complex, surrounded by windows facing North Broad Street. The renovations also provide space for academics and advising. David Loiter, a freshman Business major had to go to Pearson McGonigle for advising. Laiter, who also plays center on the football team, saw advisors that were located in the complex “I go there for study hall and to play basketball sometimes.'Laitersaid. Part of the renovation in Pearson McGonigle included a new basketball facility, featuring new courts, a weight room, film study room, athletic training space, locker rooms and offices for the coaches. Laiteralsoadded. I think thecomplex is really nice. I don't know what it looked like before, but it looks brand new.” Fitness classes are also offered. Most fitness classes are located in the Independent Blue Cross Recreation Center or commonly referred to as IBC. but because Pearson McGonigle has a pool, the classes Aqua Box and Water Aerobics were located in Pool 31. The $59.8 million project that added 140.000 square feet to the existing center provided space for sports and academics, alike. The size of the buildingcan be its asset as well as its weakness. The floors are confusing and the elevators are in the back, Shin said. Emily Colby, afreshman Theater major, also voiced her opinion about the new building. It was very big and white. Colby said. I didn't know where to go and I was overwhelmed. All I could find was theswimmingpool. Students also questioned the use of funding. I think architecturally it is incredible, but I also think the money they used to build it could have gone to other parts of the school.'Colby said. ¥ B 027
