Sanderson Center

[Wesson Bulldog]

Sanderson was built after I graduated. I've never set a foot inside, so I don't know how things were before this planned remodel. Sounds like it was built 25 yrs ago with very little attention to future needs. Any of you have any experience/thoughts on Sanderson during your time there?

I went after I graduated and the first thing I noticed was that the hallways were nice and spacious, this in turn made the weight room waaaayyy undersized.

^^^Yep

It was basically new when I was there. I did think the workout rooms were a little small. I pretty much went and played basketball in the back gym so everything else was gravy.

Jason Townsend reads the Pack?

Was new when I was there and it was great overall, but it may be a little dated these days. I can assure you that the group abs class was talent rich back in the day.

When I went on my first visit to MSU in 1990 - I was told "we are breaking ground next year on a great new student rec center".
When I went to Orientation in the late summer of 1991 - I was told "we are breaking ground next year on a great new student rec center".
When I graduated in '94, there was an article in the Reflector about the future of a great new student rec center....

Needless to say, I have no faith that the remodel will finish on time.

MSU should just save money and have someone create a workout app for students.

It was a revelation when it opened. In my mind, the student body went from it not being common for your typical student to be in great shape, to it being the norm.

The sanderson has an entire 2nd phase planned for the area just south east of the current front entry. There were plenty of future needs planning that went with it. The problem is that they have never pulled the trigger on getting that second phase updated for the 2030 needs nor have they raised the money. All they have to do is ask, Lord McBuckethead Fitness Plaza has a nice ring to it.

The current renovation just reworks some existing spaces and adds a turf area to one of the basketball areas across from the free weights.
My version of the 2nd phase is awesome.

When we moved to Starkville I joined as an alum/faculty member and went for about a year, yeah I was the older dude there on the back row of treadmills and bikes looking at all the talent in front of me. I quit going for one reason, it was just always dirty. I would go at 5:00 a.m. and you'd think it would be cleanest then but nope. The pool in particular was gross.

This!! I practically lived there when i was not in class or at work. It was such an upgrade from what we had before. I even enjoyed getting dunked on regularly when i would try and go play basketball with the athletes.
