Smith Gym is closed for the remainder of today, May 19, and tomorrow, May 20,  due to water outage in conjunction with installation of the new permanent boiler. The job fair will remain open. We apologize for this unavoidable inconvenience and trust that the new boiler will minimize future inconveniences. We thank our patrons for their understanding.

From May 19 through May 21, there will be no hot water while the new permanent boiler is installed.  Either May 20 or May 21, the gym will be closed due to no running water.  We will update this information as soon as we know firm dates. We appreciate your understanding.

The Northeast side entrances for the gym and the locker room are the only entrances open.  There is absolutely no through-access from the original lobby.  Patrons must follow this for their safety.  On April 6, the unisex bathroom will be taken out of service for construction and will, therefore, be unavailable for patron use. We thank you for your understanding and patience as we construct your new gym.

The original lobby entrance is closed off for construction; the temporary entrances for the gym and locker room are open for use on the northeast side of the gym.  We appreciate your cooperation and patronage.

The original lobby entrance is in the process of being closed off permanently for construction, and the temporary entrance for the gym and locker room are open for use on the northeast side of the gym.  We will advise patrons of detours as they occur, and we remind patrons to use caution and adhere to closures and re routing. We appreciate your cooperation and patronage.

We appreciate the cooperation of our patrons while we completed the last equipment move. The gym addition and annex are now closed for construction, which has begun with the placement of walls. We will advise detours as they occur, and we remind patrons to use caution and follow detour routes.

Your temporary gym, located on half of the basketball court, has a limited number of free weights, selectorized equipment and cardio machines. Due to the reduced availability of machines and equipment, please be patient and cooperative. We have a 30-minute limit on the cardio machines. Please self-regulate and be courteous to other patrons. We further ask for your cooperation in not monopolizing weight machines. There is no organized unit PT from 6 – 7:30 AM during the renovation to allow everyone a chance on the limited equipment. Eight parking spaces for the gym have been blocked for construction equipment; please do not park there during construction.  Again, we appreciate your cooperation and look forward to your patronage.

We appreciate the cooperation of our patrons while we completed the move of equipment to the temporary gym, which is up and running on half of the basketball court. Breakdown of the equipment remaining in the cardio room has begun, with transfer to storage over the next week. When the room is cleared, it will be closed for construction.

Due to the limited capacity, we ask for your patience and cooperation. Please self-regulate a
30-minute limit on the cardio machines. We ask your cooperation in not monopolizing weight machines as well. In addition, we request no organized unit PT from 0600-0730 during the renovation. We appreciate our patrons’ cooperation.

The Addition cardio room remains open until construction work begins.

Again, we appreciate your cooperation and patronage.
