Fitness Center Construction Update
Time for a few updates of things happening at the Fitness Center during construction:
1. The water fountains have been removed until the new tile can be laid, then they will be reinstalled. We have one water fountain upstairs behind the bleachers off of the gym floor.
2. The main air handler will be turned off Thursday 16 Aug. It will be removed and a new one will be installed. This process will take about 2 weeks. It could get a bit stuffy in the facility during this process.
3. The hallway between the current front desk area and the lockers/pool will be closed 20/21 Aug. The alternate entrance to these locations will be at the opposite end of the facility close to the pool. The side door off of Central Ave. This is for safety while they remove some of the duct work associated with the air handler.
Thank you for your patience,
