SGA to host forums for natatorium design ideas

Plans for potential changes to the natatorium continue to unfold.

Student Government Association President Brooke Dugas said in an email that the SGA is working closely with an architect on different options to change the pool, which is in need of repairs.

Dugas said the architect will present both plans for renovating the building and plans that would create a brand new facility.

The architect is supposed to present these plans to students at forums. However, no date has been set yet for the architect’s return to campus to host these forums.

An online vote will be held after the plans are presented so that students can decide what to do about the natatorium. No date has been set for this vote, but a final decision on the natatorium must be made by Dec. 1.

The summer decision by the administration to shut down the natatorium sparked an uproar from both members of the ULM campus community and people from the Monroe community at-large.

The decision to close the natatorium was then postponed until the student body could come to an agreement on what to do about the pool. The natatorium will remain open for at least the remainder of the semester.

What happens after that remains to be seen.
