Capital Planning Reflection

SRC Management Tour Reflection
February 1st, 2011 · 148 Comments · Facility Tours, TLEP 4830
I really enjoyed the Student Recreation Center tour. The most prominent feature of the tour for me was all of the racquetball courts in the facility. I thought this was poor planning at the time of construction. The book describes the importance of maximization of space within a facility. It’s clear that when the SRC […]

According to the American FactFinder, the median income for households in Brooklyn was $32,135, and the median income for a family was $36,188 in 2005. With this said, Brooklyn […]
