When students at Columbus State University need a study break they can scale a three-story climbing wall or relax in a sauna or swim in a five-lane, 25-yard lap pool.
The college opened a new 106,000-square foot recreation center this semester. The facility, which cost $23 million, was paid for through student fees and did not use taxpayer money.
The center includes an indoor track, racquetball courts and various fitness classes, such as kickboxing, Zumba and yoga.
