Does the 103,000 people annually mean that each day the facility is used by students they are counted, over, and over, and over., or is the 103,000 in addition to the students who would use this building.

Will this facility compete with the CN Centre, and its $1Million replay board. As I recall one of the main selling points for buying this monstrosity was so that the Citzens of Prince George could go to the CN Centre and watch the Olympics. They must be expecting huge crowds, if we are going to have enough spectators to fill both buildings.

Might be a tough to pull them away from their TV Sets at home and all the comforts that go with them. House coat, beer, peanuts, handy bathroom facilities, and the ability to change channels when one gets bored.

I would like to know how the 103,000 was established as well. Most user counts of that nature are based on person-days. So that would make it about 282 per day based on 24/7/365. Obviously there would be higher uses during the 30 or so weeks of the fall and spring semesters and lower uses on August weekends, unless there is a wedding.

The key to this, I believe, is that the facilities housed �temporary� sports facilities. The Sports Centre will provide much of that, so the space will need to be renovated to accommodate other needs. This is not much different to the Library building which housed instruction space on the below the library. Now that the new building is finished, the library will be able to expand into the lower portions of the building as was intended from the day it was originally designed and built.

So, this was planned all along. It is just that the source of the money may actually come from the 2010 money rather than the Ministry of Advanced Education.
