Overview of UREC Advisory Board Eric provided a brief overview of the University Recreation Advisory Board Constitution and purpose of the advisory board. The board advises the Director of University Recreation (UREC) and the department on all issues related to recreation and itness at NC State. The members of the board should provide updates to their respective constituents and collect feedback to be shared with the advisory board. Please send any items you would like added to the agenda to Eric before each meeting. UREC Overview, Impact and Value at NC State Eric provided an overview of the 2015‐16 UREC Annual Report. The annual report and UREC organizational chart are available as addendums to the meeting minutes.

Locker Room Renovation and Fitness Center Expansion Project Jason Spivey provided an overview of the Locker Room Renovation & Fitness Center Expansion project. The $7.6 million construction project funded by student fees ($27.50 annual debt service fee) started in summer 2015 and is complete. Feedback from students and members about the space have been positive. Carmichael Addition & Renovation Project Eric provided a brief overview of the project. The administrative building will be torn down and a new facility will be built that is more architecturally aligned with the look and feel of the Talley Student Union. This project will connect all of the Carmichael Complex buildings and will bring the older parts of the complex up to code. The Advisory Board will be charged with getting constituents involved in the design process by providing feedback over the next two years. Architect review and selection process is ongoing and should be completed late fall semester. The project is currently scheduled for completion by the Fall of 2020. Learn more about the project on the UREC website . Open Forum Alan Bishel asked if there a plan in place that will include feedback from UREC student employees in the design process? Eric shared UREC will seek out feedback from student workers and they will deinitely be a part of the process, but at this time there is not a formal plan in place for this. Jerome Lavelle mentioned diversity and inclusions seems to have a large part of the planning process for the locker room renovation and the new addition project. Is this intentional? Eric shared students want to have more privacy options within our facilities, whether that be in the itness space while working out or in the locker room area. UREC takes pride in creating a safe space where students and members can feel a part of the community. As a department we spend a lot of time talking about diversity and awareness and how to make these concerns a part of our planning. This will be an ongoing conversation. Tommy Holden indicated one of the most important parts of the Addition and Renovation project is that it will be making our facility accessible to students and members with physical disabilities as the existing spaces are not accessible or compliant with today’s codes. Molly Rose inquired if there was any research being conducted related to the Addition and Renovation project? Eric indicated there was none planned at this time. Molly shared Professor Aaron Hipp with Parks, Recreation & Tourism Management may be someone UREC can connect with to explore further. Eric will share the research study, “Impact of Collegiate Recreation Participation on Academic Success” once it has completed the publication process ‐ hoping to occur in the next several months. Jerome Lavelle asked Eric to share UREC’s outreach with at‐risk students. Eric discussed the Exercise is Medicine partnership with the Counseling Center and Student Health Services where physicians and counseling staff formally or informally prescribe exercise to clients. In addition, there have been a few occasions when the University Behavior Assessment Team reached out UREC to help support a plan for students at‐risk. Eric indicated UREC is preparing to be more involved in these type of outreach efforts moving forward.

Jerome Lavelle shared as the planning for the new project begins it is important to think about the needs of the future and not just what is needed today. Plans need to include considerations for how the needs of students and members may change in the long term. Eric shared an area of focus for the UREC team is to connect students with students who are not using UREC facilities and programs. Creating new space is an opportunity to encourage their involvement. Eric shared the advisory board members do not have to wait for a formal meeting to reach out to the UREC staff. Eric encourages feedback from all members and constituents at all times. Feel free to reach out with any ideas or concerns you have throughout the year. Next Meeting : Tuesday, October 11, 2016 at 6:00pm in Rec Center Playzone

University Recreation 2015­16 Annual Report Changes in Service Environment

The $45 million, 83,000 sq. ft. Carmichael Addition and Renovation was approved. University administrators and student leaders worked collaboratively to develop a cohesive facility plan and financial model. The $92.50 indebtedness fee for 25 years will be implemented when the $45 per year Recreation Center capital debt fee is paid in full, starting fall 2016. The $45 per year Rec Center debt fee will be applied to the Carmichael Addition & Renovation Project resulting in a $47.50 fee increase. The university will adjust the indebtedness fee and/or the fee’s term if there are any reductions in the cost of the project as well as increase non­student memberships to become equivalent to the cost of student fees.

University Recreation is committed to not raising the Recreational Sports fee, $167.35 per year, through the 2018­19. As a result, increases in self generating revenues (non­student memberships and activity fees) will be used to cover annual inflation costs for the next several years.

Carmichael Complex visits (1,001,438) decreased 11% in 2015­16 due to the impact of the Carmichael Gym Fitness Center Expansion and Locker Room project. Approximately 6,000 sq. ft. of fitness center spaces were closed and many support areas of the building, specifically locker rooms were closed or reduced for six months or more during the renovation.

The Locker Room & Fitness Expansion Renovation Project ($7.6 million) started June 2015 and was completed one year later. A portion of the men’s locker room was repurposed to expand the Wolfpack Strength and Conditioning Center in which new functional training equipment and space, personal viewing/interactive screens on cardio equipment, and Olympic lifting platforms were added. Student and member feedback has been exceptionally positive throughout the project especially in January with the reopening of the newly expanded Wolfpack Strength and Conditioning Center. The main entrance and aquatic entrance corridors were widened to provide better egress and a softer, more welcoming feel for visitors. Two new lounge areas with soft seating and flat screen TVs, single use locker rooms and space for future daily lockers were added within the corridor areas. Men’s and women’s locker rooms were redesigned to create an efficient and welcoming environment with z­style lockers, restrooms, private showers and changing rooms, and a lounge area. Both Varsity Swim and Dive teams and HES women’s faculty dedicated locker rooms were included. Portions of the women’s and men’s locker rooms opened in late January for members to utilize showers and lockers. Overnight lockers were available in the women’s locker room which many women members appreciated. Men’s overnight lockers were not available until June due to lack of overnight locker accessibility from the project construction. The renovated UREC equipment room and checkout area as well as the newly constructed maintenance and storage room improved space efficiencies and internal operations. Multipurpose rooms 1206, 1240 and golf room door locations were changed to improve access. Also, new storage closets were built in the multipurpose rooms to increase floor space for instruction. Development of University Wellness initiatives began with the formation of the University Wellness Task Force to include 13 members from 12 contributing university departments under the direction of co­chairs Dr. Lisa Zapata, Vice Provost of Student Development, Health and Wellness and Stacy Connell, Associate Director of University Recreation. Task Force accomplishments involved: adopting wellness common language for the campus community and the creation of a wellness catalog of more than 100 campus wellness initiatives stemming from an internal audit of all wellness programs, services, events and initiatives. Further University Wellness Task Force projects in development are a Wellness Co­curriculum , Wolfpack Wellness 101 : an interactive gamified online education module delivering personal wellness strategies and on­campus wellness resources available in 2017, a virtual hub for all wellness­related information, wellness.ncsu.edu that will be launched Fall 2016, and coming 2016­17 is the Wolfpack Wellness mobile app and Well Wolfpack Certified Department program . Successfully completed a research study, “ Impact of Collegiate Recreation Participation on Academic Success ” which examined the impact of Carmichael Complex entrance card swipes, Intramural Sports and Group Fitness participation on more than 20,000 NC State students’ grade point average, course credit completion, and persistence or graduation. Results indicated that every one hour increase in participation of recreational programs per week equated to a .06

8

increase in the student’s overall GPA and increased the odds of graduating or persisting by more than 50%. The study is the first of its kind to establish a positive significant relationship between the two variables while controlling for high school GPA, SAT scores, demographics and undergraduate student classification. The study has received public recognition for the size and scope of the project. It is currently under review for publication. The Port City Java space was repurposed to an Active Study Suite . The Active Study area is a dedicated study/lounge area that will promote exercise while studying through use of treadmill and bike desks and other exercise equipment that replaces traditional chairs and desks. The Mountains meeting room was converted to a Wellness Suite and is the new home for the University Recreation wellness staff and will eventually become a university­wide resource center for wellness at NC State. Moonlight Howl and Run: The inaugural signature event for Wolfpack Welcome Week was a success as nearly 4,000 NC State students ran as a Pack. The 2­mile fun run began at 11:59 P.M. on Monday, August 15 at the Belltower and finished with a post run celebration on the Brickyard with late night snacks, a DJ and games ending at 1:30 A.M. on Tuesday, August 16. Partnered with 17 community and university organizations such as the Campus Enterprises, City of Raleigh, University Police, and University Transportation. Rec Fest: An estimated 8,000 students attended this year’s RecFest, one of the largest on­campus special events. Collaborated with 7 community businesses and 8 NC State departments and organizations to include University Police, Office of Sustainability, UAB, NC State Athletics, and WolfBytes Sports TV. University Recreation lead 12 Wolfpack Welcome Week events for 912 students in addition to Moonlight Howl and Run and RecFest. The Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) announced that NC State completed the Healthier Campus Commitment two years ahead of schedule. NC State University is the first campus to successfully complete its commitment, encouraging healthier options among the more than 40,000 students, faculty and staff on campus each year. There are currently 60 other colleges and universities in the Healthier Campus Initiative. Of the 23 elements that NC State accomplished, University Recreation highlights include:

Ensuring free water is available at all recreational facilities. Providing more than 150 group fitness classes each week in addition to more than 25

intramural activities each year. Opening the Fit Ground outdoor functional training area on campus, featuring more than

4,000 square feet of functional fitness space, complete with a cargo net, dip bars, sit­up benches, wall ball targets, and box jumps. NC State has been highlighted as a national best practice by PHA for the objective of building outdoor fitness space.

Chancellor Woodson was a panelist at the recent PHA Summit on “The Life Cycle of the PHA Commitment”. The Chancellor said, “Our commitment to providing a healthier campus and the strengths of our campus wide partnerships are reflected in this significant achievement. We’re proud to be part of this critical effort and hope our leadership spurs others to provide healthier options in their communities.” Also, Mr. Wuf won the PHA Healthiest mascot challenge as a part of the Healthy Campus Week celebration. Recent trends in sports have noted an increase in less, competitive and unique sport programs that encourage all levels of physical ability as opposed to only high, level competitive play. The Competitive Sports Program officially changed its name to Sports Programs to expand offerings that encourage inclusivity and social engagement at various levels of physical activity for students and members.

This year had a 14% reduction in weather­related cancellations. Evaluate the process for selecting and hosting events at Carmichael Complex to determine if the events support the University Recreation mission and vision. Further integrate technology into the fitness experience to engage millennial students in maintaining physical activity behaviors to include connecting multiple mobile apps into one mobile app. Restructure and streamline Outdoor Adventures to include Challenge Course programs, staff and operations. Evaluate the impact of the Raleigh Bike Share program on WolfWheels to determine potential continuation.
