Happened to walk by the U of W's new fieldhouse, the United Health and Recplex, today... it's coming along very nicely. It really helps to make the U of W feel like a proper campus, as opposed to the rundown houses, etc. that used to stand on the west side of Spence Street. The only downside is that the fieldhouse presents a bit of a blank wall to the east which has a bit of a deadening effect, but I don't suppose that there's an easy way around that when you're dealing with a building of that nature (although the Duckworth Centre does to some extent with a gym facing out onto Spence, along with what was once SOMA Cafe).
(I still think that the U of W should have squeezed United Airlines for a donation since that's what I think of whenever I hear the name of the place)
