Officials at the four-year Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado say they would like to more than double the square footage of the current Whalen Gymnasium, but need state backing to proceed.
The building is said to be the most busy structure on campus, but has inadequate training and weight rooms, among others things.
The college would like to build a $57.5 million expansion of the facility, adding 45,000 square feet that would go up in two phases, with the first phase costing around $31 million.

If funding for the Whalen Gymnasium is approved, it would mean that Colorado would be paying for over $25 million of the first phase construction costs, with $3 million going to the design and engineering of that phase.
