The Health and Recreation Center (Building M)

Closures

• The suspended track is closed effective immediately due to utility piping upgrades. The utility pipes are being moved and the entry point of the pipes to our building is above the suspended track, therefore it is necessary to close the track during the upgrade. This work began Wednesday, June 26 and will continue through fall. During this time, the fieldhouse (mostly Court D) will be occasionally impacted. Please continue to check back for updates.
• The fieldhouse will be closed from Friday, June 28 through Sunday, June 30 for a basketball tournament.
• The pool will be closed from Monday, August 5 through Monday, September 2 for annual preventative maintenance and cleaning. Please check back for updates.
