Olds, who graduated from Eastern Michigan University in 1916. After receiving his PhD, he returned to the university, and he joined the Department of Physical Education. He coached the Eastern Michigan University track team, and also founded Eastern Michigan's most praised Intramural program during the 1920s. Olds also, originated the idea of a striped shirt for intramural officials.〔http://www.emich.edu/library/about/archives/campusbuilding.php?building_id=42〕 When the building was first built in 1982 it contained the largest indoor swimming pool in the state. The pool varied between 3 to 17 feet in depth. it was named after EMU swim coach Michael H. Jones. Michael coached with the EMU swim team from 1956 until he retired in 1988. The Jones Pool is an Olympic-sized 50M pool with spring (1M and 3M) and platform (5M, 7M, and 10M) diving boards. It is the home to the EMU Swimming and Diving teams and numerous state and local swimming and diving competitions.〔http://www.emich.edu/recim/jones.htm〕 The Building was remodeled in 1991 to included an aerobics studio, a second weight room, a new wrestling/combative room and food concessions. In 1992, there was construction on the outside of the building to make an Outdoor recreational facility. The facility added Board of Regents member Dr. Richard Robb's name to the building at this time.〔http://www.emich.edu/library/about/archives/campus building.php?building_id=42〕 Robb supported Olds, and included/ contributed University Park, which was the Recreation Center's Out door facility.
