Important Facility Update - Gym Courts, Track and Multipurpose rooms unavailable Dec 15 - Jan 4
After 15 years of dedicated use, the hardwood floors across key areas of the Rec Center require a complete refinishing. This is a necessary preventive maintenance initiative that will significantly enhance the appearance, performance, and overall lifespan of our facility for many years to come. We have deliberately scheduled this major construction to overlap with PSU's Winter Break closure period to minimize the disruption to your access and routine.
The following areas will be completely closed for use during the December 15th – January 4th period:
The rest of the Rec Center will remain open and available to you as usual during this period (please check our website for specific Winter Break operating hours).
Impacts during the construction:
- Noise Impact: While the courts are closed, members using other parts of the facility may notice increased noise between December 15th and 21st. To mitigate this, complimentary earplugs will be available at the Member Services desk and the Fitness Center desk.
- Odor Mitigation: Low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) products are used for stains and finishes to minimize chemical odors throughout the facility. We are trying to contain these to the days after December 22, most of which we are closed.
We will communicate any changes to operations via the following channels:
- Campus Rec App: Download the app and enable notifications. This is the fastest way we will notify members of real-time schedule changes or closure extensions.
- Website Updates: Check our official Hours and Closures page for comprehensive updates.
This floor refinishing project is a key investment in maintaining your Rec Center's quality and functionality. To keep membership rates as affordable as possible for our community, we will not be providing refunds, pro-rated rates, or membership extensions during this necessary facility maintenance closure. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to keep our facility a top-tier resource for your wellbeing needs.
