<description><![CDATA[The answer to your question: how much does it cost to expand an exercise facility (locker rooms, etc.) depends on several factors, with a major one being geographic location, as construction prices vary in different regions of the country.    I was involved as project architect with a 15,000 sq. ft. expansion to the Monterey Sports Center in Monterey, CA where the cost was around $200 / square foot.  However, I would think that in Montana the prices would be less expensive.      Wood frame construction is, of course, less expensive than concrete or steel structures.      I would recommend you retain an architectural firm as a consultant, even at an early stage of project planning - these experts can help you control cost and will save you money and you will have a better facility as well.    <br><br><div class='signature'>Christopher Clancy AIA, Principal Architect<br>Christopher Clancy Architect, CA</div>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Does anyone know how much it roughly costs to expand a recreation facility?  I am trying to put together information to present to our endowment and would like to get some estimates per square foot.    I am looking to add on to our building and create an expanded fitness center as well as adding and remodeling our current locker rooms.      Thanks for any input.<br><br><div class='signature'>Ted Stein, Director<br>Centra Athletic Center, Miles CC, MT</div>]]></description>
