Several projects have or will take place in the Student Recreation Center – North facility this summer or in the fall:

The front entryway along with the weightroom flooring will be replaced. •The East Gym will be receiving curtains on or before August 31. • The Student Aquatic Center (SAQ) has added UV lighting as well as a new chlor-nation system. Changes were also made to grates in the spa and leisure pool. •Upper Parker Gymnasium will be receiving a new floor at some point this fall to better meet the needs of our sport club teams and academic classes.
