I worked at UREC for four years, and was on the team when it was bid for and approved.

This money was voted on BY students. We voted to pay extra to update the UREC including the lazy river, overwhelmingly.

LSU was dead last in the SEC and near dead last in the US at sq.ft. per student and it now one of the premier campus recreation establishments in the country. I think the total project cost around $100 million with a majority coming from UREC savings over the years.
