The (only) dead lift platform was in use while we were there so we had to hit up the broski lifts today.


Quote from KSU Rec employee when asked when the new weight room will be open:

"They said it's going to be sometime this summer but I doubt it. Probably sometime this fall."

I don't know how many years its been, but I'm fairly certain it was promised to be finished a long time ago.
