Athletics and Recreation undergoing facility enhancements throughout spring term

Throughout the spring term, the Department of Athletics and Recreation will be making numerous facility enhancements to improve the user experience for our community.  There will be improvements to both the CIF and PAC buildings as well as preparation to begin construction on the Field House as part of the North Campus Recreation Facility at Columbia Icefield in addition to the start of the SLC/PAC expansion. 

At the PAC, new LED lighting is being installed in the main gym, small gym and activity areas (including Warrior Zone) from the end of exams, April 28th through to June 11th when convocation begins. The new LED lights will be much more energy efficient and will be installed in response to negative user experiences.  The LED lights will provide much brighter and clearer experiences for our student-athletes during competition, program users (intramurals, open recreation) as well as for students writing exams in the PAC. 

At the CIF, the gym floors will be resurfaced as part of our multi-year maintenance plans. We will be adding new 3-point lines for basketball.  Gyms 1 and 2 will be closed from April 24th to the 28th while Gym 3 will be shut down from May 1st to the 5th.  The new surfaces will provide a safer and more user-friendly experience for intramural participants, open recreation users and student-athletes using the surface for practice.

In addition, CIF Field 5 will be closing in early May for a week as the first step of the construction of the Field House begins. The new indoor turf facility will provide sheltered, brand new facilities for use by intramural participants, casual students as well as our varsity teams.  Plans are still being developed as to what exactly the facility will entail and we will provide updates as those plans unfold.
