Colleges and Universities have invested a great deal of resources in constructing and renovating recreational facilities over the course of time. These facilities serve as a location for health, fitness, and socialization, and provide many other wellness benefits. This study examines the impact of new/renovated collegiate recreational facilities on three different campuses and the return on investment (ROI). The ROI is measured through student participation, impact on recruitment, and retention. Additionally, this study intends to provide other institutions with examples on how they can provide data to reflect the collegiate recreation facility ROI.

I attempt to define •-the met and unmet needs of the automated clinical laboratory to aid in guiding the decisions made by designers, manufacturers, and users. Unless the automated clinical laboratory is developed as a total system we will create pockets of success and pools of chaos (1).What do I mean? If, for example, we continue our logarithmic success in automating ordering, analysis, and reporting of tests, but at the same time do little about automating collection, transportation, identification, separation, evaluation, and required action, we will have the kind of success cum chaos that we have in our nationwide transportation system.
