i missed my small group meeting today in order to spend some time interviewing a dozen or more people on campus about the new rec center.i got some intriguing feedback, mostly helpful. however, as you will see below, some feedback was a little harder to interpret.
Note to self: do not interview smartasses.
It was nice to talk to people around campus, they were all very friendly, and only one turned me down to fill out my survey!
I got a lot of unexpected information as well, including a person who is expecting to get a job at the new building, but had no idea where…
Luckily, I had already talked to the wonderful folks at the Outdoor Rec Office and was able to help him out.
In general, people had little knowledge of what the building was going to have inside of it, but plenty of them knew when it was going to open.
Not so surprisingly, no freshmen, grad students, or transfers knew ANYTHING about the building. The only people that seemed to really know what was going on are those few who work for PSU. My goal is to reach those who lack this information, and see if I can’t create a map that shows what the building has to offer that they can easily understand.
