Topic: Johnson Center- Source identification

            For this blog I decided to do some research about the Johnson Center.  I found an article on the UK’s campus recreations page under the section about the different facilities. This specific article was titled “Johnson recreation center”. It didn’t have an author and since it is updated every day I don’t know when it was first published.

Topic: Johnson Center- word summary

            The Johnson Center‚ located on Complex Drive‚ is a state–of–the–art recreation facility that is designed to provide choices and opportunities for healthy living. The appealing‚ open environment encourages participation and development of a positive‚ healthy lifestyle. It is a great place to gather‚ make new friends‚ and take a positive step towards lifelong health and fitness habits. The Johnson Center is opened from 6-midnight Mon-Fri, 9-9 on Saturdays, and 11-midnight. These hours make it easy for students to be able to fit working out into their schedules, especially us freshmen that are getting used to college.

Topic: Johnson Center- Reflection/questions

            I found this article to be very useful for future research. I gained some knowledge about the Johnson Center as well as some curiosity about it. This article made me wonder if the Johnson Center is big enough for all the students that use it? Have they considered making it bigger?  Around what time is it the busiest? What percent of UK students actually go to the Jonson Center on regular bases?
