The Rec Center's audience would be the TCU students, Faculty, Alumni as well as people that live near TCU that can acquire a TCU Community Membership. The Rec Center's main audience however is the TCU student population because that is who the building was built for, and they make up the majority of the patrons. The meaning of the Rec Center for its patrons is that it gives them a place to escape school and have fun doing whatever they choose to do whether it is working out in the weight room, playing basketball, swimming laps in the pool, playing racketball, or even chilling out and playing games in the downstairs lounge area. The Rec Center has a lot of options for the TCU community when it comes to what it offers. Its motto is LIVE LEARN PLAY and I think that the Rec does a good job offering all three parts to the motto. It helps you "live" by offering exercise and a healthy way of living. It helps you "learn" by providing another area to study for tests or relax if you need a break from school. The Rec also clearly offers a lot for "play" as the is an abundance of activities that you can participate in that would be considered "play." The Rec Center has a great meaning to its TCU Community because it something that some people may frequent every day, and it is a staple to many lives here at TCU.

    I think you have done a good job and made some great observations. There are a lot of arguments being made at the Rec Center and I think you have done a good job identifying them in the LIVE LEARN PLAY comments. Sounds like you have a great start for your paper!
