COVID-19 Response & Resources
The health and safety of our students, employees, and visitors are of the utmost importance to the University. Rec Sports has developed protocols and procedures to help keep everyone safe once we reopen.
All guidelines for safely opening gyms and health clubs released by the state fire marshall and the governor’s office will be followed. These may be updated as we enter new phases.
Rec Sports has reopened the Student Fitness Center, Student Aquatics Center, track and tennis courts. Please refer to the Reopening Information for more on adjusted hours, services, and facilities.
