University of Windsor students have voted in favour to support a new student athletics facility.
The University has been debating on whether or not to build a new student athletics facility, which would be called the Lancer Sport and Recreation Complex.
If the University decides to build the complex, students have now agreed to help cover the costs.
The complex would replace the University's current athletics facility and would cost $73 million to build.
If the University goes ahead and builds the facility, students will have to pay an additional $125 a year.
However, students will not have to pay for the building until it is completed and open.
University of Windsor Student Alliance Chief Returning Officer, Sabrina Livingstone, says students were passionate with this vote.
She says students want a new sports complex.
"People are passionate about it," says Livingstone. " I know there are many changes at the University. There are newer buildings being built and students want a new recreation complex."
University of Windsor student, Mohammad Akbar, says he voted against the proposed sports complex.
"The reason I voted against this was because it is just going to be a higher cost on already poor and suffering students," says Akbar. "There are a lot of students that will be affected by this in a deep way. It is going to be devastating for a lot of students."
The University has agreed to fund $18 million towards the project, while students attending the University will contribute $55 million over the next 30-years.
The University says it will fund all operational costs over the lifetime of the building.
In total 3,902 students voted on the project.
2,510 students voted in favour of the proposed facility and 1,392 students voted against it.
University administration will now decide whether or not to move forward with the project.
