For the funding, each student pays about $110 to the DRS, $40 for the Rec Center and $70 for the Gregory each year. The total amount of money the DRS generates from the students in one year is approximately $5.72 million. However, all of this money pays to the bond for both Rec Center and the Gregory. Each building has a 20-year bond to pay individually every year. The collected money will only pay for the bond, and once the bond is paid off, the charge from the students will immediately stop. For the Rec Center, the bond will be paid off in 2011, and for the Gregory, it will be in 2017.

Despite the fact that the bond money can't be used, there is another way to collect money. According to the DRS administrators, each year a students has to pay a fee called ''the required students services fee,'' and among this fee, about $33 goes to the DRS. The total amount of money from this fee each year is $1.716 million. If we add the money paid by the staff ($104 per person / year) and other people ($450 per person / year), the total income is to $2.658 million. Subtracting this amount from the cost of operation, the DRS will generate $658,000 per year toward its reserves. It costs approximately $12 million to build another floor above the Gregory Gym and $2000 to purchase one more machine such as the stair stepper, a popular machine that many people have to wait in order to use most of the time. The total cost to build the floor and install 50 more machines would be $12.1 million. Although the project can only be paid through bonds, $658,000 will increase the funding gradually, and in the end it will help to reduce the burden of bonds. The DRS has other reserves from the gym store and the rental of the lockers, but this money is being used to maintain the building and replace the damaged equipment.
