Additionally, though there are no longer time limits for visits to the fitness centre, we ask that you be considerate of other members. Each fitness centre will have a limited capacity and you may be asked to wait. Please note that peak periods of use at the fitness centres are after 4:30pm.

These changes are a pilot as we prepare for the fall term.
