AFC Construction Project to Close Fitness Spaces and Hours Update

Facility Update
From October 28th – December 1st, the Aquatic & Fitness Center (AFC) will be undergoing a major construction project and the cardio floor, weight floor and downstairs stretching room will be CLOSED. The upstairs Group Exercise room and the cycling studio will remain open and group fitness classes will be unaffected.
During this time, Skyline Fitness Center will open on weekdays at 11:30am. It will close at midnight still. The Recreation Athletic Complex (RAC) will see increased attendance during this time but will not be altering its hours.
We appreciate your understanding and patience with our construction project!
